Access Link riders get stop announcements

Beginning September 1, 2026, New Jersey Transit’s Access Link drivers must announce every scheduled stop along their route. Drivers can announce stops themselves or use a recording system. Access Link is the agency’s transportation service for riders with disabilities. The requirement applies to Access Link vehicles, not private or charter taxis, limousines, or ride-hailing services.
