NEWARK, NJ ¿ Customers who use the new Montclair State University Rail Station will soon be able to park for as little as 92 cents per day ¿ and enjoy a shorter commute in the process.

¿More and more residents are discovering the benefits of using NJ TRANSIT to avoid congested roadways, tolls and other commuting hassles,¿ said NJ TRANSIT Executive Director George D. Warrington. ¿We continue to make the MSU station more attractive to our customers by offering parking discounts and enhancing rail service to fit busy schedules.¿
