New Jersey has a varied network of commuter rail, light rail, bus, paratransit, county and private shuttle services. These services meet a range of needs including commuter travel to major employment centers, local bus service for various trip purposes, and specialized services for people with special transportation needs. With such a rich network, there are many opportunities for making multi-link transfers between modes and services. In the mature NJ TRANSIT system, it is unlikely that significant additional capacity will be added in the near future. At the same time, increasing development and maturity of suburban centers will create the demand for more complex, multi-link trips. Research conducted in the United States and abroad has documented traveler needs at transit transfer facilities, as well as best practices in facility design, customer information, and technologies that support transit transfers. This research study builds on the existing body of research to determine in which features of the transit transfer experience are most important to New Jersey transit customers. Field work and site inspections at transit facilities throughout the state yielded a typology of transit transfer locations that can be used by decision-makers to categorize and plan transit transfer locations throughout the state.
