Did You Know?
Matawan is home to one of New Jersey’s 18 state-designated Transit Villages. Transit Villages are communities that have embraced a smart growth vision with opportunities for growth and economic revitalization, a commitment to compact, mixed-use development, a strong residential component, including affordable housing, jobs, restaurants, arts and entertainment, and preservation of a rich architectural character, all within walking distance of a passenger transportation facility. Rutgers’ Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center (VTC), a national leader in transportation policy, is evaluating the progress of the Transit Villages in partnership with the NJ Department of Transportation (NJDOT), other state agencies, and the communities where the villages are located. VTC services to Transit Villages include fiscal impact studies that have consistently demonstrated that Transit Villages are beneficial to the communities in which they are located. In 2006, as part of the NJDOT contract, VTC launched Transit-Friendly Development, a newsletter designed to keep municipal officials, planners, and advocates up-to-date.
