• Abstract:
  Despite having an extensive network of public transit, traffic congestion and transportation-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are significant concerns in New Jersey. This research examines the GHG impacts of NJ TRANSIT local buses in the greater Newark area service region. It involved a large-scale onboard survey of bus riders on 40 NJ TRANSIT routes serving Newark, New Jersey and surrounding areas. Data collected through the survey were used to estimate how many riders would travel by automobile modes in the absence of buses and how much GHG would be generated from the diversion of bus riders to automobile modes.
