Transportation

Dial-A-Ride 

 

   Bloomfield residents 60 years and older and/or anyone with disabilities can schedule this free transportation service.  Our drivers will pick up eligible residents and drive them anywhere in Essex County.  Rides are primarily for medical purposes but if the schedule allows we can set up rides to the beauty parlor/barbershop, library and even visits to grave sites. Approximately 75 people a week have been taking advantage of the this service. 

             

   The Bloomfield Recreation Department currently has four Dial-A-Ride vehicles in its fleet, two of which include a fully ADA compliant wheelchair lift for our non-ambulatory population. On any given work day we can have up to three vehicles assisting our residents!

     Normal hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 8:30AM to 4:30PM excluding municipal holidays.  The service is free of charge. To make a Dial-A-Ride appointment, call the transportation number (973) 566-7194 during normal operating hours.

Shuttle Bus

    The Bloomfield Shuttle Bus has been designed to pick up commuters and transport them to the newly renovated Bloomfield Station located on Lackawanna Place.  The new Bloomfield Station is a stop on NJ Transit’s  Montclair-Boonton Line which enables commuters a direct trip to many destinations such as Hoboken and New York. 

    Our shuttles run Monday through Friday (except major holidays), on a fixed route.  There are several runs in the morning beginning at 5:00AM to 9:00AM and several in the evening starting at 5:00PM to 9:30PM. 

    In an attempt to better meet the needs of Bloomfield’s shuttle bus riders, the recreation department has slightly adjusted the fare schedule for its shuttle bus program. The new pass system will allow riders to purchase a 50 ride pass for $25.00. This new pass system will allow riders to use their pass anytime throughout the year; they are no longer limited to a monthly pass.   
 
    This new pass system will begin on Tuesday, September 7, 2010. After that date you must present your personalized pass to our drivers upon boarding the Bloomfield Shuttle and they will “punch” your ticket accordingly. If your pass is running low, you can come to the Civic Center during normal registration hours to purchase another pass.
 
    Shuttle Bus Passes go on sale on starting August 2, 2010.  A monthly pass can be purchased at the Bloomfield Civic Center, 84 Broad St, Monday through Friday from 8:30AM to 4:30PM or Wednesday nights from 6:00 to 8:30PM.  Acceptable forms of payment are cash, check or money order.  Checks or money orders can be made payable to “The Bloomfield Recreation Department.”
