Two kids (under 18) ride free with each adult buying a fare on Thursday, April 25. This deal applies to all buses, trains, and light rail services. Children do not need their own tickets.

Black bears are out of their winter dens and foraging for food. Prevent bears from accessing food in your garbage by using bear-resistant trash containers. Reducing food attractants is crucial to avoid attracting bears to residential areas, which can lead to dangerous interactions.

Though most of New Jersey's black bears live in the northwest portion of the State, black bears have been sighted in all 21 counties. If you see a bear, remain calm, avoid eye contact, and back away slowly. Do not run.

Fraudulent operators are sending text messages to some residents requesting payment for unpaid road tolls. If you receive a text claiming you owe an unpaid toll, do not click on any links or provide personal information. Visit the NJCCIC website for additional guidance.
