The fine print worth knowing before you go
- 1
We couldn't independently confirm the exact pay range or hybrid schedule
NJ TRANSIT's own internship page didn't list a specific hourly rate or say whether roles are hybrid — the flyer's $18–$28/hr and "hybrid or in-person" claims may be accurate but weren't things we could verify directly on the official site.
- 2
The four specific locations weren't listed on NJ TRANSIT's own page either
Newark, Maplewood, Orange and Kearny came from the flyer, not NJ TRANSIT's site directly — confirm your specific site placement once you're further into the process.
- 3
Apply through your school, not directly
NJ TRANSIT's own site says to apply through your school's career portal (Handshake, Simplicity, or College Central), not through a general public application.
A real, well-established paid internship program with a free transit perk — just watch your school's career portal starting in January, since NJ TRANSIT doesn't take general public applications for it.
