The South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) is a quasi-private agency created by the New Jersey Legislature in 1991 to manage transportation-related services in the six southern New Jersey counties: Atlantic, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem. South Jersey Transportation Authority operates shuttle buses and vans to worksites in Burlington, Camden and Gloucester counties. State Senator Jeff Van Drew has called for the SJTA to build the southern extension of Route 55 as an elevated toll road from its current southern terminus at Route 47 in Port Elizabeth to Cape May County.
