Perth Amboy is a station on New Jersey Transit's North Jersey Coast Line, located in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, United States. The station is 1½ miles east of Woodbridge and 2½ miles north of South Amboy.
The station is located in a cut between Elm and Maple and between Smith and Market Streets in downtown Perth Amboy, and has two low side platforms. A ticket office is located at street level. The platforms are below street level in the cut.On June 16, 2010, New Jersey Transit announced a $1 million (2010 USD) deal with Stantec Consulting Services in Rochelle Park, New Jersey to study the addition of high-level platforms for handicap accessibility, per the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The platform renovation will also include canopies, elevators to street-level and upgrades to communication systems.[4]
The current station building was built in the 1920s and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 22, 1984.[3] The station was refurbished in the 1990s.[1] It replaced an older structure built by the Central Railroad of New Jersey that was moved to Lewis Street and currently serves as a private residence there.[1]
