NJ TRANSIT Celebrates the Commissioning of the USS NEW JERSEY (SSN-796)
NJ TRANSIT is honoring the brave men and women who are serving in the United States Armed Forces, retirees, and veterans with complimentary system-wide rides to celebrate the commissioning of the USS NEW JERSEY (SSN 796), the U.S. Navy’s newest fast-attack submarine, at Naval Weapons Station Earle in Colts Neck on September 14th.
From Monday, September 9th through the end of the service day on Saturday, September 14th, active-duty, reserve, retired, and veteran members of the military and National Guard and their dependents ride for free systemwide on NJ TRANSIT while in uniform or by displaying a Military ID or Dependent ID.
Eligible customers may simply board any NJ TRANSIT bus or train in military uniform or present a Military ID to the operator or conductor. No ticket or fare is required.
Careers for Military Veterans
We're committed to being an employer of choice for Veterans and active military members because we recognize and value their unique experiences, skills, and knowledge. Through recruitment and partnership efforts, we strive to offer the support and resources our Veterans need to succeed in our community and workforce.
We believe that the experience gained from military service can translate well into a number of our positions. By the nature of military service, many veterans are an exemplary match for our agency and our customers and will help support NJ TRANSIT’s mission to become a world-class public transportation provider.
At NJ TRANSIT, we support and depend upon the diversity of our staff.
Military Discount
The brave men and women who have worn the uniforms of the United States armed services have incurred a debt that we can never adequately repay. The special discount offered by NJ TRANSIT is one small token of New Jersey's appreciation of their service.
- Military personnel and their dependents may use the one-way reduced ticket upon presenting their valid military or military-dependent ID cards. Eligible military personnel include Active Duty, Reserve and National Guard, and those with official "Retired" status from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines or Coast Guard.
- Veterans with service-connected disabilities may present a valid Veterans Affairs (VA) digital identification card which indicates "service connected" to use the one-way reduced ticket option.
When purchasing your ticket from a ticket vending machine or through MyTix (on the app), select Senior/Disabled to obtain the discounted fare. Tickets also may be purchased at ticket offices at stations.
