Mount Arlington (sometimes called Howard Boulevard Park and Ride) is a NJ Transit park-and-ride station in Mount Arlington, New Jersey that opened in January 2008. Both the Morristown Line and the Montclair-Boonton Line serve this station, with service to Hoboken Terminal or to New York Penn Station in New York City via transfer to Midtown Direct service. Motorists from Interstate 80 and U.S. Route 46 have access to this station. Prior to the station's opening, the lot also served as a park-and-ride for Lakeland Bus Lines. Lakeland continues to serve the lot.

Mount Arlington was the site of a former Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad station, that replaced the old Drakesville station in modern-day Ledgewood that opened in the 1850s. That station burned on February 20, 1867. The railroad closed Drakesville station in 1891 when they built the new station at Mount Arlington, 0.5 miles (0.80 km) to the east.[3] The Mount Arlington station itself closed c. 1943.[4]
