Carteret’s Electric Ferry Future | Newark News

Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description

Carteret is set to revolutionize transit with a brand-new electric ferry, funded by a $9.6 million federal grant, aiming to slash emissions and connect the borough directly to Manhattan—though the boat won’t hit the water until 2030, its terminal opens as early as 2028. This isn’t just about one boat: it’s part of a $600 million national push for ferry upgrades, with Carteret’s multimodal hub—a four-story transit nexus for buses, jitneys, and rideshares—already backed by $47 million in construction funds. Altogether, over $100 million from federal and state coffers is building a commuter lifeline, targeting peak-hour service to make Manhattan more accessible than ever.
