Middletown Passes Resolution to Reduce Transit Parking Fee

The Middletown Township Committee has passed a resolution to lower parking permit fees for NJ Transit lots along Route 36 by $75, according to the Independent.

The decision came after NJ Transit had ordered that permit fees for the lot, owned in part by Middletown Township, to be raised to $450.

NJ Transit was still reviewing the township’s resolution to lower the parking permit fee.
