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 addresses the region’s mobility needs by fostering the implementation and use of sustainable transportation modes.

A non-profit organization, Cross County Connection was formally incorporated in 1989 through the efforts of a group of southern New Jersey business leaders, local governments, and state agencies to address traffic congestion and improve air quality in the region. 

Cross County Connection’s programs and services encourage and facilitate the safe use of public transit, shuttle services, carpooling, vanpooling, bicycling and walking for all.  Additional services include public transit travel training, bicycling and walking safety programs, assistance with electric vehicle charging infrastructure and fleets, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure planning, grant assistance and more. Services are provided to county and local governments, the business community, federal, state and regional transportation agencies, schools, social service organizations and the general public.
