New Jersey needs a strong, interconnected transportation network
to combat problems such as massive traffic congestion, air and noise pollution,
and inefficient land and water use, all of which encroach upon our resources,
our competitiveness and our general quality of life. As the leading consumer
rail passenger organization within the state, the New Jersey Association
of Railroad Passengers has supported a balanced public transportation system
for all of New Jersey.
NJ-ARP is a not-for-profit corporation established in 1980 by concerned New Jersey residents who wanted a greater voice in deciding the transit future of our state. We have played an active role in implementation of new passenger rail service as well as restoration of services.
Our volunteers, many of whom work within the transportation field, are among the best and most diverse in New Jersey. Many have testified at hearings held by New Jersey Transit, PATH, Amtrak, PATCO, and various other governmental agencies. For over twenty-five years, we have been on the forefront in advocating intermodal transportation solutions statewide, be they rail, light rail, ferry, bus, or even bicycle.
Major capital projects we have supported include:
Future projects we're advancing include:
For more details on NJ-ARP activities, see the NJ-ARP 2007 Annual Report. NJ-ARP is closely allied with the National Association of Railroad Passengers (NARP). NJ-ARP is part of NARP Region 3.
