Who We Are
Our Roots
ROUTE (Restore OUr Transit in Essex) is a non-profit organization based in Essex County, NJ, advocating for improved train and bus service. Our goal is to take advantage of this unique time to alleviate the transit deserts created in Essex County afte DeCamp Bus stopped offering service to New York City.
Our Goals
Bus Service Restoration
7-Day Service to Port Authority Bus Terminal
ROUTE asks NJ Transit to institute new bus lines, running 7 days a week, mirroring the former DeCamp 33, 44, and 66 bus routes.
More Weekend Trains
Expand Montclair-Boonton Line Service
ROUTE wants NJ Transit to fund and institute hourly weekend train service on the Montclair-Boonton line, terminating at either Montclair State University or points west.
Community Involvement
Empowering Others
ROUTE seeks to have deep conversations with community stakeholders and local governments at all levels to push this issue forward.
