Re: Accessibility
Travelers with Disability
Getting around Jersey City by public transportation is easy. All NJ Transit buses are lift equipped, and all of our city’s sidewalks have slopped ramps for easy access. Traveling by the PATH train around Jersey City or to and from Manhattan is a breeze. The following PATH stations are equipped with self operated elevators and accessible fare gates: 33rd Street (NYC), World Trade Center (NYC), Journal Square, Hoboken, Newark, Exchange Place and Pavonia/Newport. Additionally, there are both public and private paratransit providers that offer smaller lift equipped vans and minibuses which can provide you with door to door service, on an advance reservation basis. NJ Transit’s light rail is another great transportation option, with level boarding between the platform and light rail vehicles, and slopped ramps to platforms.
