History & Structure
|
Created by the Public Transportation Act of 1979, NJ TRANSIT was established to "acquire, operate and contract for transportation service in the public interest."
In 1980, NJ TRANSIT purchased Transport of New Jersey, the State's largest private bus company at that time. Between 1981-85, the services of several other bus companies were incorporated into NJ TRANSIT Bus Operations, Inc. On January 1, 1983, a second subsidiary, NJ TRANSIT Rail Operations, Inc. was launched to assume operations of commuter rail in the State after Congress ordered Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail) to cease its passenger operations. A third subsidiary, NJ TRANSIT Mercer, Inc., was established in 1984 when the agency assumed operation of bus service in the Trenton/Mercer County area. In 1992, following a full reorganization, all three subsidiaries were unified and operations were significantly streamlined.
As stakeholders in NJ TRANSIT, State residents are represented by a seven member Board of Directors, appointed by the Governor. Four members are from the general public and three are State officials. The agency is structured to encourage broad public participation in the formation of transit policy for the State. NJ TRANSIT's board meets monthly at NJ TRANSIT headquarters in Newark. The Governor can override board actions by vetoing the board meeting's minutes.
NJ TRANSIT Corporation's Board selects an Executive Director to administer the entire agency. The Executive Director serves as President of all three subsidiaries (NJ TRANSIT Bus Operations, NJ TRANSIT Rail Operations, Inc. and NJ TRANSIT Mercer, Inc.). In addition, NJ TRANSIT employs a Chief Operating Officer to coordinate operations.
Two transit advisory committees provide the agency with additional input from the public. The North Jersey Transit Advisory Committee and the South Jersey Transit Advisory Committee are each comprised of fourteen unsalaried members. Members of the North Jersey Transit Advisory Committee serve four-year terms. Members of the South Jersey Transit Advisory Committee serve three-year terms.

Annual Report & Financial Statement
Transit Friendly Land Use
|
Introduction | Development Newsletter | Handbook | Pilot Program | Planning Assistance | Smart Commute Initiative
| Transit Village Initiative | Joint Development Projects
New Jersey is on the forefront of Transit - Friendly Land Use. In recent years there has been a growing recognition that transportation plays a key role in the creation and maintenance of livable and sustainable communities. With that in mind, NJ TRANSIT has pledged a strong commitment to working with New Jersey communities to implement transit-oriented development.
NJ TRANSIT's transit-friendly program encourages growth and development where public transportation already exists. Not only is the community revitalization a benefit to the state, but transit-oriented development also reduces the growth of traffic congestion and improves air quality. In addition communities benefit as their train stations and surrounding areas are revitalized, making them attractive places for people to live, work and socialize.
Transit stations are situated in a wide variety of settings throughout New Jersey, ranging from older downtowns to established suburban commuter towns and villages. Many of these municipalities are experiencing pressure to chase "rateables," resulting in disconnected sprawl development rather than integrated, sustainable growth that respects the existing community fabric and takes strategic advantage of the presence of established transit. To balance competing priorities and multiple objectives, municipalities can create and implement sensitive, community-based plans to guide growth in a comprehensive manner, especially in areas where transit can stimulate new development opportunities.
Transit-Friendly Development Newsletter
For the most up to date information on Transit-Friendly Land Use please visit our quarterly newsletter, which is designed in part with Rutgers University's Voorhees Transportation Center, to keep municipal officials, planners and advocates up to date on the potential for development and redevelopment around transit stations.

Planning for Transit-Friendly Land Use: A Handbook for New Jersey Communities
In 1994, NJ TRANSIT created a handbook specifically designed to assist elected and appointed planning officials, members of planning and zoning boards, technical planning staff members and consultants, community representatives and individual citizens interested in improving the relationship between land use planning and transit. The handbook (available on CD-ROM) is a tool communities can use to create and implement transit-friendly land use plans around their transit stations, along their major transit corridors and for proposed new areas of development. Transit-friendly planning is smart growth at its best because it can be used to create an environment around a transit station that supports pedestrian and transit use by providing for a mix of land uses in a safe, clean, vibrant and active place.
Transit-Friendly Communities for New Jersey (TFC) Pilot Program 1999-2002
The TFC is NJ TRANSIT's award-winning pilot community planning assistance program, which was created in 1999 with funding from the Federal Highway Administration. NJ TRANSIT partnered with a consortium of not-for-profit consultant partners (Regional Plan Association, Project for Public Spaces, New Jersey Future, Downtown New Jersey, Rutgers University and the New Jersey Office of State Planning, now known as the Office of Smart Growth) specializing in urban design, transportation planning, downtown revitalization, community outreach and "smart growth" advocacy, to assist competitively selected municipalities with developing community-based visions for transit-friendly development (compact, mixed-use development with a strong residential component) at and surrounding rail stations. Eleven municipalities participated in this program, including Bayonne, Hackensack, Hillsdale, Hoboken, Matawan, Palmyra, Plainfield, Red Bank, Riverton, Rutherford and Trenton.' In March 2002, NJ TRANSIT hosted its first statewide conference focusing on transit-friendly land use visioning, planning and development (Building Better Communities with Transit ? Smart Growth Designs & Planning Strategies). Over 100 municipal, county and state officials, developers, consultants, community activists and interested private citizens were presented with the highlights of the TFC program and the importance of planning for transit-friendly "smart growth." In June 2003, NJ TRANSIT released the TFC program summary report entitled "Building Better Communities with Transit" (available of CD-ROM) that identifies universally applicable, transit-friendly land use best practices and "lessons learned" from the eleven community pilot projects.
The Transit-Friendly Communities for New Jersey Pilot Program has been recognized by both Downtown New Jersey (Best of the Best Award for 2001) and the New Jersey Chapter of the American Planning Association (2002 Smart Growth Award) for demonstrating the smart growth link between transit and land use.
Transit-Friendly Planning Assistance
NJ TRANSIT is committed to assisting communities with planning for transit supportive land use and transit-oriented development at and surrounding our passenger transportation facilities. For the past five years, NJ TRANSIT has provided "Transit-Friendly Planning Assistance" to interested communities through on-call consultants with expertise in transportation planning, urban design, market analysis, economic development, downtown revitalization and community outreach. The result has been the creation of several consensus-based, transit supportive land use "vision plans" that communities are using to guide development and redevelopment at and surrounding existing or proposed transit facilities. By creating local "transit-friendly vision plans," NJ TRANSIT has successfully demonstrated how statewide transportation investments can enhance the environment, create strong community centers, encourage private reinvestment in the local economy and improve the quality of life.
Municipalities that have received technical assistance include South Orange, Rutherford, Morristown, Trenton, Matawan, Hamilton, Secaucus (in conjunction with the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission), Netcong, Cherry Hill, Dover (Morris County), Galloway, Jersey City, Newark, Riverside, Camden, Asbury Park, West Windsor, Somerville and the 13 River LINE light rail station communities.
Smart Commute Initiative
The New Jersey Statewide Smart Commute Initiative gives prospective home buyers throughout the Garden State the opportunity to qualify for a mortgage with the help of savings that can be realized from living near and using public transportation. The Smart Commute Initiative addresses the link between housing affordability and transportation costs, and recognizes that homeowners who spend less on commuting expenses can put the potential savings toward the purchase of a home. If home buyers choose a home within a half-mile of a rail or light rail station, or a quarter-mile of a bus stop, participating lenders will add a portion of their potential transportation savings to their qualifying income -- which could increase their home-buying power and help them buy more home for their money. Nearly a dozen lenders are currently originating the mortgages under the initiative; Fannie Mae is purchasing the eligible loans of up to $333,700. For qualifying borrowers with incomes under 80 percent of area median, mortgages obtained through the NJ Housing Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA) will have additional incentives. Borrowers under the Smart Commute Initiative receive up to two free NJ TRANSIT one-month passes per household. NJ TRANSIT is the largest transit system in the country to embrace the Smart Commute Initiative.
New Jersey's Transit Village Initiative
New Jersey's Transit Village Initiative was created by the New Jersey Department of Transportation and NJ TRANSIT to acknowledge the existence of transit-friendly, smart growth land use practices in designated municipalities that allow for mixed-use development (with a strong residential component) to occur within a quarter-mile to half-mile radius around rail or bus passenger facilities. A municipality is designated a Transit Village only after much of the visioning, planning and background work have already been completed on the municipal level, and only when it is poised for redevelopment to begin. The Transit Village initiative brings together key state agencies (e.g., New Jersey Department of Transportation, NJ TRANSIT, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, Office of Smart Growth, Council on Affordable Housing, Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency, Main Street New Jersey, New Jersey Economic Development Authority, New Jersey Redevelopment Authority, New Jersey State Council on the Arts, etc.) in support of local efforts to "grow smart" and reinforces the principals of the State Development & Redevelopment Plan. Designated "New Jersey Transit Villages" include Belmar, Bloomfield, Bound Brook, Burlington, Collingswood, Cranford, Elizabeth, Jersey City (Journal Square), Linden, Matawan, Metuchen, Montclair, Morristown, Netcong, New Brunswick, Orange, Pleasantville, Rahway, Riverside, Rutherford, South Amboy, Somerville, South Orange and West Windsor.
Joint Development Projects
The Joint Development Projects is an ongoing endeavor (spearheaded by NJ TRANSIT's Real Estate & Economic Development unit) to competitively solicit transit-oriented development on targeted, NJ TRANSIT-owned properties proximate to rail, light rail, bus or ferry passenger facilities. Goals include creating a non-farebox revenue stream to NJ TRANSIT, expanding commuter parking (where needed or appropriate), creating an economic return to the host municipality (tax ratable) and enhancing the vibrancy and "sense of place" of the transportation facility, particularly as it relates to the host community. The Highlands at Morristown Station, a mixed use development on 3+ acres of NJ TRANSIT-owned property located across the street from the historic train station, consists of 218 residential units, 10,400 square feet of retail space and 736-space parking deck shared by residents, shoppers and commuters. Pending projects include mixed-use development at Bound Brook, Netcong, Somerville and New Bridge Landing (River Edge) rail stations.
