Your Guide to
Public
Transportation
Page 1
Introduction
New Jersey, and West Orange in particular, enjoys the
benefits of an excellent public transportation system.
West Orange On The Go! has developed Your Guide
to Public Transportation to help West Orange’s senior
citizens understand available transportation resources.
Public transportation is a safe and economical way to
visit family and friends and to travel to stores,
restaurants, doctors’ offices and many other
destinations. Riding the bus and train can be much
easier than fighting traffic and searching for a parking
space. Public transportation helps us maintain our
independence. We can make our own travel decisions
without having to rely on other people.
For people who drive there are many services available
to help us do so safely and comfortably. Cars have
changed and so have traffic rules, driving conditions,
and the roads we travel every day. Some common
age- related changes can affect driving as well.
We wish to thank the Township and local organizations
who helped develop this Guide. Organizations include
Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ, JCC
MetroWest & the Jewish Community Housing
Corporation. Major funding for West Orange On The
Go! was provided by a grant from the Jewish
Community Foundation of Greater MetroWest NJ.

Local Bus Service in West Orange
Two local NJ TRANSIT bus routes travel through
West Orange. Transfers can be made to other
bus lines on Main St. in West Orange and Orange
and at the Livingston Mall. They operate seven
days a week, but schedules are different on
weekends.
The #73 travels from Livingston Mall through
Livingston, West Orange, Orange, East Orange
and into Newark Penn Station.
The #71 travels from West Caldwell through
Caldwell, Essex Fells, Roseland, Livingston,
West Orange, Orange, East Orange and into
Newark Penn Station.
NJ TRANSIT buses are accessible: they “kneel” to
lower the height of the first step and have lifts for
any riders who cannot use steps. Passengers must
ask the driver to kneel the bus or use the lift.
NJ TRANSIT “mybus”
The mybus service tells customers when the next
buses are scheduled to arrive at local bus stops.
To Use “mybus”
Call (973) 275-5555 and follow the prompt to dial
the mybus stop ID #. Mybus will then tell you when
the next bus is scheduled to arrive at your stop.
Bus Map on pages 9/10 shows local bus stops.

NJ TRANSIT Reduced Fare Program
Individuals age 62 and over as well as people with
disabilities can save at least 50% on NJ TRANSIT
by using the Reduced Fare Program.
To receive the reduced fare there are two options:
Show the bus operator or train conductor an ID
that is proof of your age (driver’s license or
Medicare card) and ask for “the reduced fare.”
You may also apply for a Reduced Fare ID
Card by calling NJ TRANSIT at (973) 491-7112.
What are “Fare Zones”?
Your bus fare is determined by zones, which are
the distances that you travel. Zones are shown on
the bus schedules with a special line and notation
so you know your fare in advance. You may also
call (973) 275-5555 to confirm bus fares and other
travel information. The bus operator will tell you
how much your fare is when boarding.

Access Link
NJ TRANSIT operates Access Link for customers with
disabilities who cannot use the regular NJ TRANSIT
bus. Some seniors may be eligible for Access Link.
Access Link operates on the same days and hours as
the regular NJ TRANSIT bus and “shadows” the local
bus routes.
Access Link has special
features:
Small buses and cars
provide “curb-to-curb”
service.
Appointments for trips must
be made by the rider or other designee at least 24
hours in advance.
Access Link can be used for any type of trip -
medical, social, shopping, etc.
Please request if you want to ride with a
companion who will pay regular fare or a Personal
Care Attendant (PCA) who can ride for free.
The Access Link Assessment Process
Potential riders must have an in-person
transportation assessment interview.
To arrange an assessment interview at local office,
call (800) 955-2321.
A certification specialist will explain the
assessment process over the phone.
Bring an advocate (family, friend or professional)
to the interview to help you describe your situation.
If you need transportation to the interview, Access
Link will pick you up for a round-trip fare of $4.00.
Page 6
Plan your trip in advance using a trip planner at
njtransit.com or googlemaps.com/transit or
speak to a live operator at customer service.
Keep copies of the schedules for the lines you
use. You can order schedules or plan your trip
with NJ TRANSIT Customer Service by calling
(973) 275-5555. You can look at schedules
online at njtransit.com, coachusa.com.
Bring exact fare and extra change with you.
Also bring any medications you may need
during a trip, your ID Card, the address of your
destination, and emergency phone numbers.
Always get to the bus stop early. It is better to
be 15 minutes early than 15 seconds late!
Sit near the bus operator, if possible, so you
can easily communicate, see the road ahead
and hear any announcements.
Keep aisles clear of bags and packages.
Tell a friend or family member where you are
going and when you plan to return.
Never plan to take the last bus home.

Dear Valued Readers,
Welcome to the 36th edition of the Seniors Blue
Book. With each passing edition the Seniors Blue
Book continues to grow in size, accessibility, and
information. I want to offer you my heart felt thanks
for continuing to turn to and trust the Seniors Blue
Book as your primary go to source for anything and
everything that is related to seniors, caregivers and
their well being.
It is our mission to provide you with all possible
options and opportunities that are available in an easy
to read format. The guide is broken down into three
main sections; Community Resources and Services,
Home Health Care & Non-Medical Home Care Agen-
cies and Senior Housing. We include definitions of
these services and indicate which companies offer these
in the appropriate Home Health and Housing Grids.
We continue to offer the Solutions for Seniors
resource help line at 973-560-0064 for those
that need help navigating the information within
our publication and website and to offer FREE
assistance to those that wish to ask for our
information assistance.
SeniorsBlueBook.com is our dynamic website that
will not only offer all of the information listed in the
Seniors Blue Book, but empower the viewer to find lo-
cal events and activities and post their own events and
activities. The community calendars will be interac-
tive and I am expecting avid participation from both
seniors and their providers. SeniorsBlueBook.com will
also be offering senior professionals their own senior
calendar for networking opportunities, promotion of
their own events and job opportunities. The commu-
nity calendars are only a smidgen of the new informa-
tion that will be available on SeniorsBlueBook.com.
Please log on and check it out for yourself. I promise
that you will bookmark SeniorsBlueBook.com and
come back again and again. Thank you for your con-
tinued support and give me a call or an e-mail if you
have any suggestions or comments that will further
enhance the Seniors Blue Book.
Sincerely,
LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER

ADULT DAY SERVICES
Adult day programs are for elders who need a place to stay during daytime
hours because they have difficulty functioning alone (i.e. dementia or physical
limitations). The programs offer purpose and stimulation. Most facilities place
participants into groups with specific limitations. For more information call
our Seniors Resource Line at 973-560-0064.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEMS
A Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) is an electronic device
designed to let you summon help in an emergency. A PERS has three
components: a small radio transmitter (a help button carried or worn by the
user); a console connected to the user’s telephone; and an emergency response
center that monitors calls. When emergency help (medical, fire, or police) is
needed, the PERS user presses the transmitter’s help button. It sends a radio
signal to the console. The console automatically dials an emergency response
center where the caller is identified. The center will try to determine the nature

of the emergency. If the center cannot contact you or determine whether an
emergency exists, it will alert emergency service providers to go to your home.

HOSPICES
Hospices provide individuals facing terminal illness with clinical and psycho/
social care at home or in a healthcare facility. The mission of hospice is to assist
patients and allow them to live the last stage of their lives with dignity; and
to supplement routine clinical care with expertise in pain control, symptom
management, grief and loss counseling, as well as support services. Most
hospices accept Medicare/Medicaid, insurance and private pay. For more
information call our Seniors Resource Line at 973-560-0064.

Save up to $102 on your Part B premium—one way
Humana may give back to you
A Medicare Advantage plan that may increase your benefits
and the money in your pocket
The HumanaChoice H5216-342 (PPO) Medicare Advantage plan includes a Part
B giveback. That means it may reduce your monthly Medicare Part B premium.
This could be either through a credit to your Social Security check or by reducing
the monthly amount you pay directly to Medicare, depending on how you pay
your premium.
Besides potentially saving you money with the giveback, the plan may help you
reach your health goals, with benefits you might not get with Original Medicare,
such as:
• Part B premium reduction, for $102 more in Social Security each month
• $0 monthly plan premium
• Advanced imaging, X-rays and lab work

A Medicare Advantage plan that may increase your benefits
and the money in your pocket
The HumanaChoice H5216-342 (PPO) Medicare Advantage plan includes a Part
B giveback. That means it may reduce your monthly Medicare Part B premium.
This could be either through a credit to your Social Security check or by reducing
the monthly amount you pay directly to Medicare, depending on how you pay
your premium.
Besides potentially saving you money with the giveback, the plan may help you
reach your health goals, with benefits you might not get with Original Medicare,
such as:
• Part B premium reduction, for $102 more in Social Security each month
• $0 monthly plan premium
• Advanced imaging, X-rays and lab work

Please mention the Seniors Blue Book when you call our advertisers.

Medicare 2024 “In A Nutshell”
(Parts A, B & Medigap Plans)
Original Medicare is a government health insurance program primarily for
people age 65 and older. It has four main parts: A, B, C & D. The chart below
is an example of how Parts A & B work together with a traditional
Medicare supplement also known as a “Medigap Plan.”
Medicare
Part A
Hospital Insurance
Generally no cost
(If you paid Medicare taxes
while working)
$1,632 deductible
(per benefit period)
It is possible to pay the
$1632 deductible and other
daily charges for multiple
stays & extended care.
Plan covers: Inpatient
hospital care, home health
care services, hospice, in-
patient skilled nursing & more.
Providers are paid
by Medicare assignment.
No coverage outside USA.
No out-of-pocket maximum.
Many people add a Medigap
plan, Part D or an Advan-
tage Plan (Part C) to fill the
“gaps” in the coverage.
Medicare
Part B
Medical Insurance
Most people pay
monthly $174.90
(Premium could be higher
based on income)
$240 annual deductible.
(this can increase each year)
80/20 after deductible.
Plan covers: health care
providers, ambulance,
emergency care, outpatient
surgical, wellness &
other Medicare approved
benefits
Most doctors accept
Medicare.
No coverage outside the USA.
No out-of-pocket maximum.
Many people add a Medigap
plan, Part D or an Advan-
tage Plan (Part C) to fill the
“gaps” in the coverage.
Supplemental Policy
Plans A - N
Medigap
Premium varies by company,
age, location & other factors.
Guarantee Issue at
initial enrollment
(Other special enrollment
periods may be avalable)
These plans generally pay
the 20% not covered
by Part B & other
Medicare eligible benefits
When this coordinates with
Medicare, many benefits are
100% covered
Can provide benefits
outside USA
Plans are available through
insurance companies.
Important to add Part D plan
to cover prescription drugs &
avoid penalties.
Must have Part A & B to enroll.
There is NO additional cost to use the services of a full time insurance professional.
Please call us or a broker in your local area for additional assistance.
This article was written by Craig N. Anderson, President of
Anderson Benefits, Inc. located in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Medicare 2024 “In A Nutshell”
Med Advantage (Part C) with RX (Part D)
Medicare Advantage plans are governed by Medicare. They are only offered through
insurance companies that have an annual contract with Medicare. They are NOT the
same as Medigap policies. They must cover all Medicare approved services.
Most Advantage plans include Part D prescription drug coverage.
Advantage Plans
Part C
INSTEAD of a Medigap Plan (A-N)
Premium varies by company and coverage.
(Same premium for all ages).
Part B premium $174.70 is still paid
(Premium can be higher
depending on income)
There are many plan types available:
PPO, HMO, HSA, etc.
Plans have co-pays and / or coinsurance
for covered benefits & services.
Preventive care is covered 100%.
Plans have an annual
out-of pocket maximum.
Plans may have additional services and
discounts, including dental, vision,
gym membership & more.
There is an Annual Election Period (AEP)
which runs from October 15–December
7 of each year. This is the time to make
changes in company or coverage.
Must have Part A & B to enroll.
Medicare
Part D
Drug Program
Premium varies by company and coverage.
(Same premium for all ages).
Plans are generally a variation of the following:
Deductible (Phase I)
$0–$545 deductible
Initial Coverage (Phase II)
co-pay coverage until the total
cost of the drugs = $5,030
Coverage Gap / Doughnut Hole (Phase III)
The member now pays much more for covered drugs
25% generic / 25% brand. There is a drug
manufacture discount on certain drugs that can
count toward the “True out-of-pocket” (TrOOP).
You remain here until the $8,000 (TrOOP) has
been met. It’s estimated you will pay about
$3,300 of the $8,000.
Catastrophic Coverage (Phase IV)
$0 for covered drugs on the plan’s formulary
for the rest of the calandar year
Approved formulary insulins are no more
than $35 per month.
Part D can be separate with Medigap & PFFS plans.
There is a penalty for late enrollment into Part D.
Annual Election Period is Oct 15–Dec 7 each year
Must have Part A or B to enroll.

This information is the opinion of the author and intended as an easy to read summary.
This is not a contract. Additional limitations and exclusions may apply to services.

the certificate / Medicare will control. Prepared 10/2023

shall be contracted. If that judge accepts the appointment as mediator, the mediation
shall be conducted within ten (10) business days. If the judge does not accept the
appointment, the parties shall then go to the next senior judge on the list until a
mediator is reached.
C.
If all judges are struck or if the parties are unable to obtain a judge from the list, the
parties will then review the list again to strike up to five (5) judges, after which the most
senior name on the list will be selected as the mediator.
D.

be presented to the Assignment Judge in Essex County, New Jersey, for him/her to
select a mediator from the list, after giving the parties the opportunity to strike up five
(5) judges per party, provided that the number of judges on the list presented to the
Assignment Judge shall consist of not less than fifty percent (50%) of the original list

party responsible for its own mediation costs. Mediation shall be non-binding, unless
the parties agree otherwise.

The contractor and the owner do hereby agree that the provisions of Title 11 of the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "Act") (42 U.S.C. S121 01 et seq.), which prohibits discrimination on the basis
of disability by public entities in all services, programs, and activities provided or made available by
public entities, and the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant there unto, are made a part of this
contract. In providing any aid, benefit, or service on behalf of the owner pursuant to this contract, the
contractor agrees that the performance shall be in strict compliance with the Act. In the event that the
contractor, its agents, servants, employees, or subcontractors violate or are alleged to have violated the
Act during the performance of this contract, the contractor shall defend the owner in any action or
administrative proceeding commenced pursuant to this Act. The contractor shall indemnify, protect, and
save harmless the owner, its agents, servants, and employees from and against any and all suits, claims,
losses, demands, or damages, of whatever kind or nature arising out of or claimed to arise out of the
alleged violation. The contractor shall, at its own expense, appear, defend, and pay any and all charges
for legal services and any and all costs and other expenses arising from such action or administrative
proceeding or incurred in connection therewith. In any and all complaints brought pursuant to the
owner’s grievance procedure, the contractor agrees to abide by any decision of the owner which is
rendered pursuant to said grievance procedure. If any action or administrative proceeding results in an
award of damages against the owner, or if the owner incurs any expense to cure a violation of the ADA
which has been brought pursuant to its grievance procedure, the contractor shall satisfy and discharge
the same at its own expense.
The owner shall, as soon as practicable after a claim has been made against it, give written notice
thereof to the contractor along with full and complete particulars of the claim, if any action or
administrative proceeding is brought against the owner or any of its agents, servants, and employees,
the owner shall expeditiously forward or have forwarded to the contractor every demand, complaint,
notice, summons, pleading, or other process received by the owner or its representatives.
It is expressly agreed and understood that any approval by the owner of the services provided by the
contractor pursuant to this contract will not relieve the contractor of the obligation to comply with the
Act and to defend, indemnify, protect, and save harmless the owner pursuant to this paragraph.

the contractor, its agents, servants, employees and subcontractors for any claim which may arise out of

Agreement or otherwise at law.

targeted employment goal established in accordance with N.J.A.C. 17:27-7.2. The contractor or
subcontractor agrees that a good faith effort shall include compliance with the following procedures:
(A)
If the contractor or subcontractor has a referral agreement or arrangement with a union for a
construction trade, the contractor or subcontractor shall, within three business days of the contract
award, seek assurances from the union that it will cooperate with the contractor or subcontractor as it
fulfills its affirmative action obligations under this contract and in accordance with the rules
promulgated by the Treasurer pursuant to N.J.S.A. 10:5-31 et. seq., as supplemented and amended from
time to time and the Americans with Disabilities Act. If the contractor or subcontractor is unable to
obtain said assurances from the construction trade union at least five business days prior to the
commencement of construction work, the contractor or subcontractor agrees to afford equal
employment opportunities minority and women workers directly, consistent with this chapter. If the
contractor's or subcontractor's prior experience with a construction trade union, regardless of whether
the union has provided said assurances, indicates a significant possibility that the trade union will not
refer sufficient minority and women workers consistent with affording equal employment opportunities
as specified in this chapter, the contractor or subcontractor agrees to be prepared to provide such
opportunities to minority and women workers directly, consistent with this chapter, by complying with
the hiring or scheduling procedures prescribed under (B) below; and the contractor or subcontractor
further agrees to take said action immediately if it determines that the union is not referring minority
and women workers consistent with the equal employment opportunity goals set forth in this chapter.
(B)
If good faith efforts to meet targeted employment goals have not or cannot be met for each
construction trade by adhering to the procedures of (A) above, or if the contractor does not have a
referral agreement or arrangement with a union for a construction trade, the contractor or
subcontractor agrees to take the following actions:
(l) To notify the public agency compliance officer, the Dept. of LWD, Construction EEO Monitoring
Program, and minority and women referral organizations listed by the Division pursuant to N.J.A.C.
17:27-5.3, of its workforce needs, and request referral of minority and women workers;
(2) To notify any minority and women workers who have been listed with it as awaiting available
vacancies;
(3) Prior to commencement of work, to request that the local construction trade union refer minority
and women workers to fill job openings, provided the contractor or subcontractor has a referral
agreement or arrangement with a union for the construction trade;
(4) To leave standing requests for additional referral to minority and women workers with the local
construction trade union, provided the contractor or subcontractor has a referral agreement or
arrangement with a union for the construction trade, the State Training and Employment Service and
other approved referral sources in the area;
(5) If it is necessary to lay off some of the workers in a given trade on the construction site, layoffs shall
be conducted in compliance with the equal employment opportunity and nondiscrimination standards
set forth in this regulation, as well as with applicable Federal and State court decisions;
53
EXHIBIT B (Cont)
(6) To adhere to the following procedure when minority and women workers apply or are referred to
the contractor or subcontractor:
(i) The contactor or subcontractor shall interview the referred minority or women worker.
(ii) If said individuals have never previously received any document or certification signifying a level of
qualification lower than that required in order to perform the work of the construction trade, the
contractor or subcontractor shall in good faith determine the qualifications of such individuals. The
contractor or subcontractor shall hire or schedule those individuals who satisfy appropriate qualification
standards in conformity with the equal employment opportunity and non-discrimination principles set
forth in this chapter. However, a contractor or subcontractor shall determine that the individual at least
possesses the requisite skills, and experience recognized by a union, apprentice program or a referral
agency, provided the referral agency is acceptable to the Dept. of LWD, Construction EEO Monitoring
Program. If necessary, the contractor or subcontractor shall hire or schedule minority and women
workers who qualify as trainees pursuant to these rules. All of the requirements, however, are limited
by the provisions of (C) below.
(iii) The name of any interested women or minority individual shall be maintained on a waiting list, and
shall be considered for employment as described in (i) above, whenever vacancies occur. At the request
of the Dept. of LWD, Construction EEO Monitoring Program, the contractor or subcontractor shall
provide evidence of its good faith efforts to employ women and minorities from the list to fill vacancies.
(iv) If, for any reason, said contractor or subcontractor determines that a minority individual or a woman
is not qualified or if the individual qualifies as an advanced trainee or apprentice, the contractor or
subcontractor shall inform the individual in writing of the reasons for the determination, maintain a
copy of the determination in its files, and send a copy to the public agency compliance officer and to the
Dept. of LWD, Construction EEO Monitoring Program.
(7) To keep a complete and accurate record of all requests made for the referral of workers in any trade
covered by the contract, on forms made available by the Dept. of LWD, Construction EEO Monitoring
Program and submitted promptly to the Dept. of LWD, Construction EEO Monitoring Program upon
request.
(C) The contractor or subcontractor agrees that nothing contained in (B) above shall preclude the
contractor or subcontractor from complying with the union hiring hall or apprenticeship policies in any
applicable collective bargaining agreement or union hiring hall arrangement, and, where required by
custom or agreement, it shall send journeymen and trainees to the union for referral, or to the
apprenticeship program for admission, pursuant to such agreement or arrangement. However, where
the practices of a union or apprenticeship program will result in the exclusion of minorities and women
or the failure to refer minorities and women consistent with the targeted county employment goal, the
contractor or subcontractor shall consider for employment persons referred pursuant to (B) above
without regard to such agreement or arrangement; provided further, however, that the contractor or
subcontractor shall not be required to employ women and minority advanced trainees and trainees in
numbers which result in the employment of advanced trainees and trainees as a percentage of the total
workforce for the construction trade, which percentage significantly exceeds the apprentice to journey
54
EXHIBIT B (Cont)
worker ratio specified in the applicable collective bargaining agreement, or in the absence of a collective
bargaining agreement, exceeds the ratio established by practice in the area for said construction trade.
Also, the contractor or subcontractor agrees that, in implementing the procedures of (B) above, it shall,
where applicable, employ minority and women workers residing within the geographical jurisdiction of
the union.
After notification of award, but prior to signing a construction contract, the contractor shall submit to
the public agency compliance officer and the Dept. of LWD, Construction EEO Monitoring Program an
initial project workforce report (Form AA-201) electronically provided to the public agency by the Dept.
of LWD, Construction EEO Monitoring Program, through its website, for distribution to and completion
by the contractor, in accordance with N.J.A.C. 17:27-7.
The contractor also agrees to submit a copy of the Monthly Project Workforce Report once a month
thereafter for the duration of this contract to the Dept. of LWD, Construction EEO Monitoring Program,
and to the public agency compliance officer. The contractor agrees to cooperate with the public agency
in the payment of budgeted funds, as is necessary, for on-the-job and/or off-thejob programs for
outreach and training of minorities and women.
(D) The contractor and its subcontractors shall furnish such reports or other documents to the Dept. of
LWD, Construction EEO Monitoring Program as may be requested by the Dept. of LWD, Construction
EEO Monitoring Program from time to time in order to carry out the purposes of these regulations, and
public agencies shall furnish such information as may be requested by the Dept. of LWD, Construction
EEO Monitoring Program for conducting a compliance investigation pursuant to N.J.A.C. 17:27-1.1 et
