Governor Murphy announced three initiatives to expand and modernize public transportation options in southern New Jersey. This includes an expansion of Camden’s electric bus fleet, a new express shuttle service between Vineland and Atlantic City, and a $5 million federal investment to grow microtransit options in the southern region of the state.
The new express shuttle bus pilot between Vineland and Atlantic City will launch this fall, with two round-trips each weekday, providing direct service between the Vineland Transportation Center and the Atlantic City Bus Terminal. The one-year pilot will be operated by the South Jersey Transportation Authority.
In Camden, the State plans to expand on a fleet of electric buses, increasing access to clean, efficient, and sustainable transit options. A $5 million investment of one-time federal funding will be allocated to support the expansion of microtransit across South Jersey, improving service options on “eds and meds” corridors. The initiative is designed to connect residents to jobs, schools, and healthcare facilities.
