NEWARK, NJ — NJ TRANSIT will host a third public open house to discuss potential transit improvements along the congested highway corridor that connects suburban Gloucester and Camden counties with the City of Camden and Philadelphia.  Previous open houses were conducted in April and December 2011.

 

The open house is scheduled for Thursday, March 1, 2012 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., at the Camden Technology Center (Executive Conference Room 201) at Camden County College, located at 200 North Broadway in Camden. 

 

NJ TRANSIT has initiated the Route 55/42/676 Transit Alternatives Analysis to identify and evaluate a range of bus service improvements along the highway corridor to and from Camden and Philadelphia.  The study is looking at innovative service options, including Bus Rapid Transit, designed to speed travel along this heavily congested corridor.

 

Members of the public are invited to attend the open house to learn about the study and to give NJ TRANSIT their input on suggested transit improvements.
