NJ TRANSIT Launches Southern New Jersey Transit Market Study

NJ TRANSIT has launched the Southern New Jersey Transit Market Study to better understand transportation needs and mobility gaps across Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, and Salem counties.

The study will analyze current and future development and employment patterns to recommend ways to improve connections to jobs, recreation, and vital services. By identifying service gaps and incorporating community input, the study aims to propose innovative, sustainable solutions for the region’s long-term mobility needs. 

The study area is home to nearly 600,000 people and economic hubs like Atlantic City, Cape May, Vineland, Wildwood, and various healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics centers. Seasonal travel patterns, dispersed population density, and mobility gaps between key economic centers present transportation challenges different from elsewhere in New Jersey. 

The study began in December 2025 and is scheduled to conclude in 2027. Community engagement will be key to the project's success. NJ TRANSIT will gather the perspectives from people who live, work, and travel to the study area through an online survey and local community events (summer 2026), as well as virtual public meetings (fall 2026).
