Transportation within Madison Township has been vital since its inception. It provides connections to other towns and cities, but it is important to map it to measure the developmental and environmental effect on local land. The Madison Train Station was built in 1916 and designed by Frank J. Nies. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984. The Madison Train Station is located at Kings Road between Green St. and Prospect St. NJ Transit also has local bus service, please consult this schedule for the Livingston Mall route or Florham Park, Madison, Morris Twp route.
