Getting around Fairfield

Transit

NJ Transit operates limited local bus service along Route 46 (such as routes 29 and 712), but there is no direct passenger rail station in town; the nearest rail hubs are the Mountain View-Wayne or Little Falls stations on the Montclair-Boonton Line, requiring a 10-minute drive.

Biking & trails

There is no local bike-share program, and cycling is largely confined to quiet residential side streets due to the lack of dedicated bike lanes on high-speed arterial roads.

Parking

Parking is abundant and free throughout the township, with large private surface lots available at nearly all shopping plazas, office parks, and restaurants.
