City of Atlantic City Unveils Brand New Passenger Buses for Youth and Seniors with Unique Design Featuring Resident Images

Atlantic City, N.J. (December 20, 2023) – Pictures of Atlantic City residents are among the aesthetic highlights of the city’s three, brand new passenger buses, which Mayor Marty Small, Sr. unveiled, today, in the City Hall parking lot. The buses will be primarily used to provide transportation for Atlantic City seniors and youth for city-organized programs and events. The buses’ unique exterior design features images of Atlantic City residents of all age groups, beautiful photos of the city and the Mayor’s ‘It’s a Great Day Here in the City of Atlantic City’ slogan.

Two of the buses, each seating 54 passengers, were paid for through grants the city was able to obtain. The New Jersey Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA) purchased the third, 20-passenger bus which contains a wheelchair lift. The city also received funding from the State of New Jersey for a charter bus and two sprinter vans that will be used for similar purposes next year.

“As I often say, our youth and seniors are our two most precious resources,” said Mayor Small. “Under the Small administration, we completely revamped our Health and Human Services Department and are offering more services to our Atlantic City youth and seniors than ever before, including taking them on quality of life trips. Transportation can be costly, but having these buses will drive those costs significantly down and save the taxpayers of the Great City of Atlantic City money.”

Maisha Moore, the CRDA’s Interim Executive Director, along with the City of Atlantic City Department of Health and Human Services’ divisions of Youth Services, Senior Services, Recreation, Multicultural Services and Anti-Violence were also present for today’s unveiling.
