Tell NJ Transit How You Really Feel About Howell Route 9 Commute

HOWELL, NJ — NJ Transit is conducting a Transit-Oriented Development study of the Route 9 bus corridor, and the agency wants to hear from you about your experiences using the route.

The agency has created a survey for the public to weigh in on the corridor that serves passengers to and from New York City. And there is also a virtual open house on Tuesday, Feb. 6, with a link to registration.

NJ Transit has secured federal funding for the Route 9 corridor to address mobility, housing and social equity issues, the agency said.

And information about riders' personal experiences using the corridor are a crucial part of the program.
