New Jersey is one of the few states with various transportation modes such as buses, rails, and rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft. There are limits to your location and accessibility (Access Link ADA Paratransit) is a suitable option for those who qualify!), but learning how to travel in, around, and out of your state is a valuable skill for yourself, your family, and all NJ residents!
Division Of Disability Services
NJ Transit or rideshare apps are growing in accessible options for passengers with developmental disabilities.

Rutgers' Study - CLOCK in RECOVER
Why are some young people sick months after getting COVID?
We need your help to find answers - Children and young adults (up to 25) can join a study to help us learn about the long-term health effects of COVID, called Long COVID.
Who can join?
Anyone up to 25 can join whether they've had COVID or not. We need young people from all races, ethnicities, and backgrounds to join.
Parents and caregivers can join too!
What will happen if you join?
You'll get paid for your time, and we may ask you or your child to answer survey questions and have checkups and tests.
***The study will not give anyone a treatment or medicine for COVID***.
If you join this study, you can still take the treatments or medication provided by your doctor. Help Solve Long COVID. To learn more or join, visit: https://redcap.rwjms.rutgers.edu/surveys/?s=MKHMCNKRCY.
