  • Route 202 Corridor Assessment and Multi
    THE Louis Berger Group, INC. Corridor Assessment and Multi-Modal Mobility Plan for Route 202 5.0 TRANSIT AND TRAVEL DEMAND MANAGEMENT CONDITIONS AND STRATEGIES This section describes current transit services and facilities as part of a bi-county assessment of travel conditions along the Route 202 transportation corridor. Public Transit service within the Route 202 Study Area consists of a combination of local bus, commuter bus and commuter rail operations. Local bus operations within the Study Area connect area residents to key trip destinations (e.g., major employers, shopping centers and other commercial concentrations, etc.), and to train stations, park and ride lots or other bus transit nodes. Commuter bus services operate primarily between pick-up points in the Study Area and destinations in Lower and Midtown Manhattan in New York City. Commuter rail operations connect the Study Area to major employment centers such as Newark, Hoboken and New York City. All modes collectively form an interconnected transit network, with the connections more frequent and convenient in the northern portions of the Study Area. 5.1 MULTI-MODAL TRANSIT SERVICES IN THE CORRIDOR Somerset County comprises the northeastern part of the Study Area and is served primarily by NJ TRANSIT (NJT) bus and rail lines. While there is limited NJT service in Hunterdon County, consisting of some service along the Raritan Valley Rail Line and a mini-bus service along US Highway 22, NJT “Wheels 884”, Hunterdon County itself provides extensive service through “The LINK” system. There are also some existing private commuter routes operated by Trans-Bridge Lines and others for commuters traveling out of the two counties to Newark and New York City.
