Ferry service to and from Manhattan took a significant step toward setting sail after Carteret received a $5 million state grant to build a ferry terminal on the Arthur Kill waterfront located between the borough and Staten island.
The grant is part of the state Department of Transportation’s NJDOT’s Smart Move Program intended to provide congestion relief. Ferry service is seen as a way to reduce congestion on the nearby New Jersey Turnpike. The DOT grant is added to earlier federal grants to buy a ferry boat.
