Jitney Service Returns

Posted July 26th 2021

On July 9, the boroughs of Avalon and Stone Harbor welcomed the return of the AC Jitney transportation service along the island. The service runs Thursday through Sunday, 6pm-2am through the end of the summer.

“The Jitney service is an important aspect to public safety through both communities,” said Avalon Mayor Martin Pagliughi. “The return of the service will provide a safe and convenient transportation route between the two towns, and we are thrilled to partner with Stone Harbor and the Jitney Association for the summer.”

The Jitneys, comprised of independent contractors, operate on a fixed route through Avalon and Stone Harbor, using the organization’s fleet of eco-friendly, 13-passenger vans. The service originated in Atlantic City and has expanded through local shore communities.

“The best way to show our appreciation for the Jitneys is to use the service, and support the drivers this summer,” said Stone Harbor Mayor Judith Davies-Dunhour. “The Jitneys have a proven record of being a valuable asset to safe transportation between Stone Harbor and Avalon which allows our visitors to enjoy activities, special events, and businesses in our sister communities.”

Be sure to download the Jitney Surfer app that provides real-time locations, important information, and the option to purchase tickets on your phone. The service will run through the balance of the summer, with a $3 fare per ride. For more information, go to jitneyac.com.
