NJ Transit Issues Super Pass For the Super Bowl |
New Jersey Transit Corporation is issuing Super Pass, a commemorative unlimited ride pass that will help Super Bowl XLVIII fans easily travel among events throughout Super Bowl Week. The NFL and the New York-New Jersey Super Bowl Host Committee have designated NJ Transit as the lead public transportation agency for the mega-event.
“NJ Transit is ready to welcome the legions of Super Bowl visitors to the Garden State, and we look forward to providing them with a safe, efficient, and comfortable transportation experience across our system,” said Executive Director James Weinstein.
To support the anticipated spike in ridership, NJ Transit is finalizing plans that will provide convenient service throughout Super Bowl Week, including recruiting, training, and deploying more than 800 NJ Transit Employee Ambassadors across the system during the week-long event.
In addition, the agency is completing improvements at the Frank R. Lautenberg train station in Secaucus (the closest station to the stadium) to support Super Bowl-related operations as well as events following the game, including rail platform extensions to permit the use of longer, higher-capacity trains. A new bus service area will also triple bus capacity, which will further enhance Meadowlands-area bus operations.
Super Bowl Week is expected to attract more than 400,000 fans and visitors to the New York/New Jersey metropolitan region, infusing an estimated $550 million into the region’s economy.
“Our Super Pass will provide significant savings for those travelling to and from Newark Liberty Airport as well as for customers planning to attend Super Bowl events,” said NJ DOT Commissioner and NJ Transit Board Chairman James Simpson. |
