Transportation

One of Jersey City's strengths is its access to a wide variety of trans- portation options. Whether you're walking, biking, driving, taking the bus or train, or relaxing on the ferry, if you start in Jersey City, you can get there from here.

Walking
For several years, Jersey City has ranked respectably in American Podiatric Medicine Association's  "Best Fitness Walking Cities" campaign. In addition, the NJ Department of Transportation's  "Liberty-Water Gap Trail" will allow the adventurous walker to traverse the width of the state from Liberty State Park to the scenic Delaware Water Gap.

Biking
In addition to Jersey City's proposed bikeway, the City is part of the East Coast Greenway, a planned unbroken bike route from Maine to the Florida Keys.  For other biking information, visit the NJ Bicycle and Pedestrian Resource Center. 

Driving
With ready access to the NJ Turnpike, Route 1-9, and both the Holland Tunnel and Lincoln Tunnel, getting in and out of Jersey City can be quick and easy.  Check the traffic-cams before you go and our Travel & Traffic Advisories page before you go.

Buses
Both NJ Transit and the Hudson Transportation Management Association have a wealth of information on various commuter options, including buses.

PATH Trains and Light Rail
The 24-hour PATH Train and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail systems provide East-West (Newark to NYC) and North-South (Secaucus to Bayonne) rail service respectively.

Ferry
