River LINE
The River LINE is a light rail line that starts in Camden and ends in Trenton, traveling along the Delaware River through Camden, Burlington, and Mercer Counties.

The River LINE has six stations in Camden County. There are four in downtown Camden: the River LINE starts at the Camden Waterfront at the Entertainment complex, then stops at the NJ State Aquarium, then goes to the Camden campus of Rutgers University, and finally stops at the Walter Rand Transportation Center. Once the River LINE leaves downtown Camden, it makes a final stop within the city lines of Camden at 36th St. Then, there is one last station in Camden County on Route 73 in Pennsauken.


The River LINE goes on to make 11 stops in Burlington County in townships along the Delaware River, none of which have connections to any other transportation systems. The line then enters Mercer County and makes three stops in downtown Trenton. The final station is Trenton, which links to Trenton Rail Station where the NJ Transit, SEPTA, and AMTRAK all provide train service along the Northeast Corridor toward both New York and Philadelphia.
Commuters are not the focus of the River LINE, unlike the PATCO high-speed line. Most River LINE users are traveling to the end stations (Camden and Trenton) in order to see events such as concerts or sports matches. However, Trenton is usually not a final destination as many people continue on trains north towards the New York metropolitan area from the adjacent Trenton Rail Station.

RiverLink Ferry
The RiverLink Ferry travels from the Camden waterfront area to Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia. Many do not use this travel option as it takes the slow but “scenic” route across the Delaware River. The vast majority of RiverLink Ferry clients make use of the ferry before and after events at the Camden waterfront – especially when there are concerts at the Tweeter Center.


Walter Rand Transportation Center
The Walter Rand Transportation Center is a transportation hub located in the heart of downtown Camden. As mentioned previously, the transit center features stations for both the PATCO high-speed line and the River LINE. The Walter Rand Transportation Center also serves as a bus station for twenty-two NJ Transit buses.


Employment & Shopping

There are over 3600 places of business in Camden County including retail stores, offices, and industrial centers. Almost all of the heavy industry in Camden County is located in the City of Camden along the Delaware River. Otherwise, the bulk of businesses in Camden County are offices and retail stores located in almost every municipality.
