Crosstown Transportation

Crosstown is a door-to-door transportation service for seniors age sixty-five and up, and people with disabilities who live in the municipality of Princeton. The service is provided by a partnership between the Princeton Senior Resource Center (PSRC) and RideProvide, a program of the Greater Mercer Transportation Management Authority.

Rides between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on weekdays must be reserved no later than noon on the business day before the scheduled ride. Rides can be scheduled for any purpose between any points of origin and destination within the municipality, but medical appointments at Penn Medicine Princeton Health or at the Princeton Fitness and Wellness Centers (in both Princeton and Plainsboro) will receive priority. Rides to Penn Medicine are free for registered riders.

Each one-way ride costs $3, which is payable by voucher; riders may purchase (with cash, check, or credit card) up to twenty vouchers at a time at the PSRC Office (101 Poor Farm Road).
