NJ Transit Launches MicroLink Shuttle Program Offering Free Connections in Bergen and Monmouth Counties
New Jersey Transit has introduced a pilot shuttle program named MicroLink, designed to provide free connections to major bus stops and park & rides in select areas of Bergen and Monmouth counties. The service, which began on Monday, operates from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and can be accessed via the MicroLink app or by phone. The program is part of a partnership with Via and is funded by a $7 million grant from the Federal Transit Administration. The initiative aims to enhance accessibility to the bus network by offering flexible, on-demand service. Currently, the service is available in Bergenfield, Englewood, Teaneck, and Tenafly in Bergen County, as well as Freehold and Manapalan in Monmouth County. The service is ADA accessible but operates separately from NJ Transit's Access LINK service for people with disabilities.
