NJ TRANSIT CONDUCTS FIFTH PUBLIC FORUM ON ACCESSIBILITY

Forum Highlights the Agency’s Innovative Programs for Customers with Disabilities and Engages the Public for Feedback

October 29, 2026

NEWARK, NJ – NJ TRANSIT hosted its fifth Accessibility Forum as part of its ongoing efforts to engage and expand inclusion for customers with disabilities. The forum was held yesterday in NJ TRANSIT’s Newark headquarters as well as online.

"Accessibility is fundamental to good transit service, and our system has to work for every customer, from planning a trip to checking elevator status before heading to the station," said NJ TRANSIT President & CEO Kris Kolluri. "This forum gives us the chance to gather feedback directly from our customers about our programs and services."

During the forum, NJ TRANSIT showcased its accessibility efforts from all facets of the organization. The forum provides the opportunity to educate and inform participants about the many ways NJ TRANSIT provides a world-class travel experience for customers with disabilities. The forum gave members of the public the opportunity to provide comments, offer feedback and ask questions related to NJ TRANSIT’s accessible services.

NJ TRANSIT’S webpage https://www.njtransit.com/accessibility features a video about the many services and features of NJ TRANSIT that make it accessible to all individuals, as well as easy-to-use links to specific information and informational videos, which are captioned in six languages in addition to English.

The videos, funded by the Federal Transit Administration’s Access and Mobility Partnership Grants program, cover several topics including information about vehicle and station accessibility, the Reduced Fare Program, community transportation services, and NJ TRANSIT’s Access Link paratransit service, including Access Link Online, where Access Link customers can manage their reservations and accounts.

Customers who were not able to attend the virtual meeting can view the presentation at njtransit.com/accessibility.
