Mayor Steven M. Fulop and Via, the leader in TransitTech, announce the expansion to weekend service of New Jersey’s first publicly subsidized on-demand transit system. This week marks the one-year anniversary of the system’s launch, with the system exceeding every goal of connecting transit deserts and providing a low-cost alternative option for residents.
Since the February 2020 launch, Via has provided over 216,000 rides, most of which originated from the West and South areas of Jersey City, with top destinations being key transportation hubs and shopping/business districts. Despite the pandemic, the service is exceeding every goal and has been more resilient than traditional public transit in Jersey City, proving to be a critical transportation offering, especially for the underserved communities who need it most.
