Ramapo College Launching Free Shuttle To BCC, Garden State Plaza

MAHWAH, NJ - Ramapo College is launching a brand new shuttle bus service to and from its Mahwah campus.

Starting Tuesday, the Ramapo Roadrunner Express will become the first-ever direct public transit service in the school's 50-year history, helping provide students from Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Hudson counties with "free daily access" to the college, according to College President Peter P. Mercer.

The shuttle will make stops at Westfield Garden State Plaza and Bergen Community College in Paramus, which provides a direct link to buses that travel to the mall from areas like Hackensack, Union City, Weehawken, Fort Lee, Paterson, Passaic, Clifton and Bloomfield, the school said.

The free shuttle will run round-trip five times daily, Monday through Friday, from Ramapo College's Bradley Center.

“Ramapo College has long been the only New Jersey State public institution that is not serviced by public transit," Mercer said. “This new direct transit link to our campus is sure to enhance regional educational opportunities and be of mutual benefit to the State’s economy, the College, our staff, students and their families, who not only rely on mass transit but are entitled, as residents of New Jersey, to have reliable and affordable transportation access to all of its state colleges and universities."
