On August 27, 2012, the Borough of Dunellen became New Jersey’s 26th Transit Village.

A designated Transit Village is a municipality that has been recommended for designation by the interagency Transit Village Task Force. These municipalities have demonstrated a commitment to revitalizing and redeveloping the area around their transit facilities into compact, mixed-use neighborhoods with a strong residential component.

A municipality can be designated a Transit Village only after much of the planning and background work has already been done on the municipal level. It may only be designated a Transit Village after the Transit Village Criteria have been met.

The area that makes up the Transit Village district is a half-mile radius around the transit station. In order to be designated a Transit Village, the municipality must document that there are multiple Transit Oriented Development Projects planned for the area within the district.

Designation provides a municipality with the following benefits:

  • State of New Jersey commitment to the municipality’s vision for redevelopment.
  • Coordination among the state agencies that make up the Transit Village Task Force.
  • Priority funding from some state agencies.
  • Technical assistance from some state agencies and eligibility for grants from the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT).
