The city of Plainfield is served by the main line of the Central Railroad of New Jersey. Four passenger stations, three of which are currently in operation, are located within the city limits. Presently, plans are being developed to replace the Central Railroad of New Jersey passenger service by an extension of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey PATH services. Plainfield is located southwest of Manhattan and Newark and serves as the center of activity of several municipalities in Union, Middlesex and Somerset Counties. Many of the residents of this subregion utilize the Plainfield passenger stations to commute to Newark and Manhattan. The purpose of the study was to develop a plan for the consolidation of transportation services in Plainfield, New Jersey, and to determine the engineering and economic feasibility of constructing a transit center in the future.
