Welcome to the S-RIDES

NJ TRANSIT’s Local Programs and Minibus Support (LPS) department are the administrators of several Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant programs as well as the State of New Jersey Senior Citizen and Disabled Resident Assistance Program (SCDRTAP or commonly referred as casino revenue).

It is our job as the administrators to ensure continuing satisfactory control. We do this through requiring grant subrecipients to submit ridership reports and by NJ TRANSIT staff performing maintenance/vehicle inspections as well as on site program reviews.

Thank you for your continued support in providing community transportation.

NJ Transit Reduced Fare Q&A:

Why did I get a Reduced Fare card? 
In August, a bill mandating all Access Link customers be automatically issued Reduced Fare cards was passed. The goal is to help people with disabilities increase their transportation options, when possible, and save money while riding on the train, bus, and light rail.   Rides are not free and the card has no monetary value.
Can I use the Reduced Fare card for Access Link rides?   
No.  But you can use the reduced fare card for rides on the train, bus, and light rail. You will save 50% off of the regular one-way fare. 
I didn’t receive my card or there’s a mistake.   
Call 800.955.ADA1(2321) and select option #1 to confirm your mailing address and other information.   
What happens if I lose my card or need more information?  
For more information and language assistance, please call NJ TRANSIT Customer Service at (973) 275-5555 between the hours of 8:30AM and 5PM daily. For TT services call 800.772.2287
