Impact Analysis of Recreational Transit Services on Local Community Economic Development, Employment and Spending

Public transit service provided by NJ TRANSIT is used throughout the state of New Jersey by a large number of persons to visit recreational activities. Such activities include beach-related recreation and amusement, sporting events, concerts, and various types of shows and other events. By focusing on three separate transit markets related to recreational activities in New Jersey, this study quantifies the local economic benefits generated by the expenditures of public transit users as well as the environmental and congestion-reduction benefits due to the avoidance of automobile use by the same. The three transit markets considered are: (a) the North Jersey Coast Line (NJCL) summer weekend service to the shore areas of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, (b) transit service to professional hockey games and concerts at the Prudential Center in the City of Newark, and (c) the Express Bus #316 summer weekend service provided by NJ TRANSIT between Philadelphia and the Wildwood/Cape May area in Cape May County.
