Facilities located near the Garden State Parkway offer a designated area where commuters can leave their vehicles and transition to public transportation, often buses or carpools. These locations serve as a convenient link between private automobile use and mass transit options.
Such infrastructure provides several advantages. They reduce traffic congestion on the Parkway itself, particularly during peak hours, contributing to smoother commutes for all drivers. Furthermore, these locations can lower individual transportation costs by encouraging shared rides and decreased reliance on personal vehicles for the entire journey. The existence of these facilities also supports environmental sustainability by lowering overall emissions related to commuting.
