Speakers are available to make a presentation to any school or community group on a wide range of transit topics. There is no fee associated with any speaking engagement.

Finding A Speaker

Anyone interested in having an NJ TRANSIT representative come to their school or community group must complete a Speaker Request Form.

Next Steps
|
| |
|
Once the Speaker Request Form is received, NJ TRANSIT will process it as soon as possible. Please allow a minimum of three to four week's notice for presentations to give us sufficient time to schedule the speaker. If possible, provide two to three open dates. We will try to honor the request, but it is contingent upon our ability to coordinate employees' schedules.
|
| |
|
When the presentation gets closer, staff will contact you as a final check on the arrangements. If the speaking engagement is cancelled, NJ TRANSIT will make every effort to reschedule in a timely manner.
