Light rail in New Jersey

[1] Light rail, among other forms of transit, is a major part of the state's Smart Growth policy.

The current HBLR fleet consists of 53 low-floor electric light rail cars.

With the conversion of operation from PCC streetcars to cars similar to what is used on the HBLR, the Franklin Avenue loop was removed and replaced by Branch Brook Park, with service extended to Grove Street.

The Delaware River Port Authority is planning to build the Glassboro–Camden Line, a diesel light rail from the Walter Rand Transportation Center in Camden to Rowan University in Glassboro, along an existing freight rail line.

Governor Jon Corzine formally endorsed the light rail, which will cost an estimated $1.3 billion, and New Jersey has committed $500 million in funding.
