Facility Overview

The Park & Ride at 468 W Broad St in Burlington, New Jersey, is a dedicated open-air surface parking facility serving commuters, regional travelers, and visitors to historic Burlington City. Situated along the West Broad Street corridor right alongside the NJ Transit River LINE light rail tracks, this facility features a ground-level, single-deck layout with clearly marked bays, wide driving lanes, and unhindered overhead space. Because there is no overhead deck structure or height restriction bar, the facility comfortably accommodates standard sedans, light pickup trucks, crossovers, full-size SUVs, high-roof conversion vans, and commercial service vehicles without vertical clearance concerns.

Visitor & Driver Tips

While spaces are generally available throughout the day, the most convenient spots closest to the platform pathways fill quickly during peak weekday morning commute hours (between 6:30 AM and 8:30 AM). River LINE light rail tickets must be purchased from platform vending machines or through the NJ Transit mobile app prior to boarding, as tickets cannot be purchased aboard the train. Drivers operating extra-long commercial vehicles or trailers should park along outer perimeters to ensure smooth turning radiuses for fellow motorists.
