NJ Transit

An office-heavy scheme was approved by the council last week, a move that sets a framework to negotiate an agreement to build three buildings along the NJ Transit-owned land.

ACI-Herzog JV has been awarded a $1.5 billion contract to operate and maintain New Jersey’s Hudson-Bergen Light Rail system.

Dozens of train cars that are no longer used by NJ TRANSIT commuters could soon end up in private hands.

In the early 20th century, Trollies, trains, horses, bikes, and cars all scrambled on lawless roads. Deaths and injuries were commonplace. To help the situation, the Lackawanna Railroad eliminated 19 deadly grade crossings in Orange and East Orange. The yearlong project, which began in 1922, will soon mark a centennial.

NJ Transit is spending $25 million to replace key components on over 200 train cars, aiming to improve reliability and performance.

A new company could soon operate a number of local bus lines in Hudson County.

In addition to Seastreak service from Bayonne, there could be ferry service to Manhattan from South Amboy and Carteret.

The undercover agents would be used to investigate employee performance and service conditions.

Several moves have already been made to improve crowded service along the 119 bus line and locals will have a chance to weigh in at a community meeting on the issue later tonight.

A long-delayed audit of NJ Transit system was finally released to the public this week and the findings confirm it's a “national disgrace”.
