Traffic Alert Migration

In September 2018, HART TMA changed its organizational name to goHunterdon. You can read more about our name change here.
We are now in the final stages of migrating all online assets to our new name. This includes the email address used to send traffic alerts. Alerts will now be sent from traffic@gohunterdon.org.

For most traffic alert subscribers, no action will be needed. However, a small number of users may need to add this new email address (traffic@gohunterdon.org) to your “Safe Sender” or Contact list to continue to receive alerts.

We will begin using the new email address traffic@gohunterdon.org starting Tuesday, January 8, 2019. If you have any trouble receiving these new alerts, please contact us using this form.

Vanpooling Presented as Commute Option to Relocating ExxonMobil Employees

Since the announcement from ExxonMobil Research & Engineering that the company would be relocating approximately 350 employees from the company’s facility in Paulsboro, NJ to Clinton Township, HART has been providing commute information and assistance to the relocating employees. The commute from the Paulsboro area to Clinton Township is 77 miles and takes approximately one hour and forty five minutes in regular traffic conditions.

In June 2018, HART was joined at the Paulsboro facility by representatives of Enterprise Rideshare, a vanpool leasing company, to make a presentation on vanpooling. More than 50 ExxonMobil employees were in attendance. Vanpooling is a formal arrangement between 7-15 individuals who collectively enter into a monthly lease agreement with a vanpool provider. Maintenance and insurance of the vehicle is included in the lease cost. Vanpoolers decide among themselves who will drive the van, pick up and drop off times, and locations.

“Vanpooling can be a great option for employees who are facing a long commute like the employees from Paulsboro,” says Christina Edzenga, HART Commuter Services Manager. “With a sponsorship provided by NJ TRANSIT and incentives being offered by both HART and Enterprise Rideshare, vanpoolers who participate in a 7 passenger van could pay as little as $7 per day,” she notes.

HART and Enterprise Rideshare will continue to work with employees to assist in the formation of vanpools and carpools.
