New Jersey boasts an extensive and growing transportation network, with 83,000 lane-miles of roadway, 1,120 miles of commuter, rapid and light rail track, and almost 2,800 miles of freight railroad track.  Commuter and light rail service has increased, though bus service has increase only slightly.  And while a large percentage of residents have access to transit service, many origins and destinations are not convenient by transit, and significant portions of the state lack service altogether.
