 EAST WINDSOR TOWNSHIP ENCOURAGES RESIDENTS TO RIDE TOWNSHIP-SPONSORED SHUTTLE BUS TO AND FROM PRINCETON JUNCTION TRAIN STATION

Mayor Janice S. Mironov and Council Members encourage residents to take advantage of the East Windsor-sponsored and long- standing shuttle bus running to and from the Princeton Junction Train Station. The shuttle bus, funded by NJ Transit State and Federal grants, provides East Windsor and Hightstown commuters and residents with a convenient option to travel to and from the Princeton Junction Train Station for work, and other daily needs, during the morning and evening commutes. The shuttle buses are operated by the Arc Mercer on behalf of East Windsor Township.

The shuttle service operates Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. The route includes three one-way commutes in the early morning to the train station, with stops along Old Cranbury Road, North Main Street, Dutch Neck Road, Route 571, One Mile Road, Old Trenton Road, and more. The shuttle also offers two one-way return commutes in the evening from the train station to the various East Windsor and Hightstown stops.

Mayor Mironov stated, “This is a great opportunity for East Windsor and Hightstown residents who commute to work by train, since parking is limited at the Princeton Junction Train Station. The Township highly encourages residents to take advantage of this shuttle option, which helps residents save on gas and the cost of daily commutes to work.”

The regular fare for a one-way trip is one dollar ($1.00), with a 20 percent discount available by purchasing 40 tickets for $32. These discounted tickets can be purchased from the Township. Individual tickets and rides can be purchased directly from the shuttle bus operator at time of boarding. Princeton Junction Shuttles can be identified by the “East Windsor Township Princeton Junction Shuttle” window signs.

Shuttle schedules and route information are available at the East Windsor Township and Hightstown Borough municipal buildings, the Princeton Junction Train Station, and online at www.east-windsor.nj.us (click “Community,” then “Transportation”, then “Princeton Junction Shuttle”). For questions or information regarding the schedule, route or tickets, call the Township at (609) 443-4000, ext. 425.
