For now, the pilot program only services a small part of New Jersey : four communities in Bergen County, and two others in Monmouth.There is a big change coming for some New Jersey commuters in Bergen County and parts of Monmouth County.
NJ Transit riders there will be the first in the state to experience the agency’s new pilot shuttle program called Micro Link, offering on-demand rides to or from select bus stops. NBC New York’s Adam Harding reports. New Jersey Transit launched a pilot shuttle program on Monday that will operate in parts of the state by offering free connections to major bus stops and park & rides, providing commuters a new way to access the bus network. The new program runs in partnership with Via and through $7 million in funding from the Federal Transit Administration, per NJ Transit. For now, the pilot program only services a small part of New Jersey: four communities in Bergen County, and two others in Monmouth.“MicroLink powered by NJ Transit is a smart, customer-focused investment that is part of building a more connected, reliable, and rider-focused NJ Transit,” New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill said. “By bringing flexible, on-demand service to communities in Monmouth and Bergen counties, and meeting people where they are, we’re making it easier than ever to access a transit system that works for riders.”“MicroLink powered by NJ TRANSIT,” runs from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays, and is accessible through the MicroLink app, or by phone at 973-233-4047.All MicroLink trips are ADA accessible, however, the service is separate from Access LINK, the dedicated paratransit service for people with disabilities under NJ Transit. The pilot program is funded to operate for two years at no cost to commuters, many of whom learned of the service on Monday.New York City
