In addition to New Jersey Transit bus operations and Rutgers Campus buses, the station is served by local shuttles known as Brunsquick and DASH. In 2005 the station was designated the core of the New Brunswick transit village, a smart growth initiative to promote transit-oriented development which can include government incentives to encourage compact, higher density, mixed-use development within walking distance of the station. The station building was listed on the New Jersey Register of Historic Places and National Register of Historic Places since 1984, and is part of the Operating Passenger Railroad Stations Thematic Resource. The design is similar to that of the Chester Transportation Center in Pennsylvania. Sills are incorporated into a stone belt course that wraps around the building, while lintels are embellished with prominent keystones. Windows display a popular Georgian Revival pattern of 9-over-1. Brick quoins at the corners of the building convey an impression of strength and solidity. The depot was designed in the Colonial Revival style and includes walls of light brown brick, hipped roof with gabled dormers and a deep cornice with dentil molding at its base.
