Ramsey Route 17 Station is one of two New Jersey Transit rail stations in Ramsey, New Jersey served by Main Line and Bergen County Line trains, as well as select Port Jervis Line trains. The station opened on August 22, 2004. The rail station is adjacent to NJ 17, allowing motorists drive straight to the station from the highway.

There is a 5-level parking deck at the station which has over 1,000 spaces. Out of area people find it convenient to park here for weeks at a time for $2 a day and take the train into New York City or to Newark Liberty International Airport. This is much cheaper and their cars are perfectly safe.
