Transportation in New Jersey
Transportation in New Jersey utilizes a combination of road, rail, air, and water modes. New Jersey is situated between Philadelphia and New York City, two major metropolitan centers of the Boston-Washington megalopolis, making it a regional corridor for transportation. As a result, New Jersey's freeways carry high volumes of interstate traffic and products. The main thoroughfare for long distance travel is the New Jersey Turnpike, the nation's fifth-busiest toll road. The Garden State Parkway connects the state's densely populated north to its southern shore region. New Jersey has the 47th smallest area of U.S. states,〔(Census 2000 Geographic Terms and Concepts ), Census 2000 Geography Glossary, U.S. Census Bureau. Accessed 2007-07-10.〕 but its population density of 1,196 persons per sq. mi (462 persons per km2)〔〔(2010 United States Census )〕 causes congestion to be a major issue for motorists.〔(Congestion Buster Task Force: Frequently Asked Questions ), ''New Jersey State Department of Transportation''.〕
New Jersey has a statewide mass transit system, centered on transportation to New York City and Philadelphia. New Jersey Transit, the chief operator of intrastate public transportation, manages three separate light rail systems, eleven commuter rail lines, and a statewide bus system. The Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) links transportation hubs in Manhattan and northeastern New Jersey, while the PATCO Speedline connects downtown Philadelphia to Camden County, New Jersey. Intercity rail is operated by Amtrak along the Northeast Corridor between the major population centers of the Northeastern United States. In addition, New Jersey is home to Newark Liberty International Airport, the nation's fifth-busiest international gateway,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top 20 U.S. Gateways for Nonstop International Air Travel: 2006 and 2007 )〕 and the Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal, the principal container ship facility of the New York metropolitan area.
==Roadways==
New Jersey has of roads managed by state, county, and municipal governments and toll road authorities.〔(New Jersey FY 2010-2018 Statewide Capital Investment Strategy (SCIS) )〕 The major roadways fall under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), which operates the state highway system. State-owned highways and toll roads consist of 7% of road mileage and 66% of traffic volume. In contrast, county and municipal roads consist of 93% of road mileage and 34% of traffic volume.〔
New Jersey, along with Oregon, is one of only two states which prohibit customers from pumping gasoline at gas stations. As a result, all gas stations are either full service or minimum service.
