BAYONNE AND JERSEY CITY RESIDENTS ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE
AT PUBLIC MEETING FOR BUS RAPID TRANSIT FEASIBILITY STUDY

The Bayonne/Greenville/ Journal Square Bus Rapid Transit Study is investigating the feasibility of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) to improve north-south bus service between Bayonne and Jersey City. The study aims to increase mobility to employment centers, educational institutions, and the PATH Journal Square Transportation Center, and support quality of life through improved access to shopping, community centers, and local neighborhoods. BRT is a flexible, efficient, and innovative public transportation tool that improves urban mobility with additional services and priority treatments to make travel more efficient and comfortable.
