About
Mission: Creating equitable, safe, and environmentally sustainable transportation options in South Jersey.
Cross County Connection is the designated Transportation Management Association (TMA) for the seven-county southern New Jersey region: Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem. Cross County Connection assists local governments, schools, businesses, social service organizations, residents and employees with mobility needs by fostering the implementation and use of sustainable transportation modes.
Cross County Connection TMA, a non-profit organization, was formally incorporated in 1989 through the efforts of a group of southern New Jersey business leaders, local government officials, New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) and NJ TRANSIT, to address mobility issues in the region. Cross County Connection’s programs and services include the implementation and promotion of commute alternatives designed to address the mobility needs of those without a private vehicle, reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality.
Today, Cross County Connection is a full-service transportation organization offering a wide variety of programs, services, and resources to southern New Jersey businesses, local governments, schools, residents, and employees. Cross County Connection provides assistance with commute alternatives such as public transit, shuttle services, carpooling, vanpooling, bicycling and walking. Additional services include public transit travel training, bicycling and walking safety education programs for schools, assistance with electric vehicle charging infrastructure, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure planning and grant assistance and more.
Commuting challenges are not just an inconvenience--they dramatically affect our quality of life, our independence, our ability to get to work, school, and medical appointments, conduct business, and more. Recent world events illustrate the importance of mobility—whether it means getting essential goods to distribution points, or employees and residents to essential services. Mobility is a driving force for the economy, and accessibility to transportation options for ALL, must exist for the region to prosper.
