OzonePass Program

In an effort to Go Green and to reduce the ozone pollution that often accompanies the hot and hazy days of summer, NJ TRANSIT and University Human Resources have teamed up to offer the OzonePass Program to Rutgers–New Brunswick employees.OzonePasses are special discounted tickets that allow you to “try transit” instead of driving when high levels of ground-level ozone pollution are predicted. Employees can use OzonePasses to commute to and from work on any NJ TRANSIT bus, train, or light rail system at a special discounted fare.OzonePass tickets are not valid for travel to New York or Philadelphia and cannot be used on Metro North trains.

OzonePasses are $1.50 one-way and $3.00 round-trip and can be used on designated Ozone Action Days or Health Watch Days through September 7, 2012.

Employees participating in the program may visit the Department of Environmental Protection Air Monitoring web page at http://www.njaqinow.net/ to determine if the day has been designated an Ozone Action or Health Watch Day.

OzonePasses are available for purchase, cash only, at the Cashier's Office, Records Hall, College Avenue Campus. Since the number of Ozone Action Days is unpredictable, unused passes may be returned to the Cashier’s Office for a refund before September 9, 2012.
