Use & Occupancy Permits

Use and Occupancy Permits are typically issued to utilities companies and municipalities and allow certain facilities, such as pipes and wires, to occupy NJ TRANSIT’s property. Requests for Use and Occupancy Permits should be submitted to NJ TRANSIT Real Estate Department Attn: Use and Occupancy Permits, One Penn Plaza East, Newark NJ 07105. In addition to a letter indicating the scope of the proposed work, applicants must submit six signed and sealed plans on 11’ x 17” and two full-sized sets (typically 24” x 36”). Plans must show only the installations proposed to be on NJ TRANSIT’s property and must include the property boundaries. NJ TRANSIT’s “Guidelines for Working within or in Vicinity of NJ TRANSIT’S Right-of-Way” (See link below) provides guidelines for each specific type of installation and provides more details on the application process in section EP-2. Use and Occupancy Permits are governed by NJ State regulation NJAC 16:77 (See link below). Please email any additional questions to [email protected].
