RIDE is the passenger transportation office of the Department of Transportation.

RIDE services include:
RIDE Routes - A community shuttle program providing scheduled routes that do not require advance reservation and are available to the public. Shuttles feed into other accessible bus and rail fixed-route transportation services.
RIDE Reservations - A reservation-based transportation service for persons 60 years of age and older and to persons with disabilities age 18 years and older.
RIDE On Demand - Currently serving the greater New Brunswick area and part of North Brunswick, this service allows users to book rides through the Middlesex County RIDE On Demand app, available in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
If you need assistance or reasonable modifications with any of RIDE services, please contact a representative by calling 800-221-3520 or by emailing through the Contact Us link.

Additionally, any municipalities provide some type of transportation for their senior and disabled residents. All intra-municipal trips should first be requested of the municipality. Only if the municipality cannot transport, should RIDE be contacted. For inter-county trips, senior and disabled residents also have transportation options. Information for each municipality can be found at Middlesex County RIDE | Middlesex County NJ
