NJ TRANSIT's Reduced Fare Program gives people with disabilities an identification card for reduced fares on its services. A licensed physician or nurse practitioner completes the Physician Certification on page 4 of the application. Unusually, the physician, not the patient, returns the full packet to the NJ TRANSIT Reduced Fare Office.
The applicant completes the Disability Information Release Authorization and the applicant section (pages 2 and 3) and supplies a photo and ID copy. A licensed physician or nurse practitioner completes all items in the Physician Certification.
