“We’ve had far more successful years than not. NJ Transit bard chair and Transportation Commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti welcomed all the comments. “Unfortunately there’s been precious little information disseminated from this agency and the lack of transparency is frightening,” said Randy Glucksman, a member of the MTA Permanent Citizens Advisory Committee. The agency’s also renegotiating its contract with Parsons, the contractor installing positive train control, but NJ Transit didn’t provide figures or details fueling more frustration among advocates. We’re part of that, but we’re not the whole plan,” said Corbett.
“There is a master agreement with the state and with the Sports Authority and we are part of providing that service, but we’re working with them and with other carriers and other options we’re looking at so they have a comprehensive plan that they’re coming up with. $8 million of it will finance bus transportation for the American Dream megamall in the Meadowlands - including express service to the Port Authority Bus Terminal and shuttles but no rail spur service yet. It helps accelerate engineer training and hiring more transit cops. The simple question is, what are you going to do with it?” said Joseph Clift, former planning director for the Long Island Rail Road. Now you didn’t ask for the 50 million bucks but you got it. “I hope the media today get all over you guys about the 50 million bucks. It also includes an extra $75 million from the state budget, $50 million of it unasked for from the Legislature. The operating budget relies on a hefty $460 million transfer from its capital budget and requires no fare increase this fiscal year. New Jersey Transit operates bus, light rail, and commuter rail. “We’re still short and that’s where you see these, so we’re trending in the right direction but a long way to go.” The New Jersey Transit Corporation (commonly reffered to as New Jersey Transit, NJ Transit or NJT) is a statewide public transportation system serving the US state of New Jersey New York, Orange, and Rockland counties in New York State and Philadelphia County in Pennsylvania. “Until we get about another 40 engineers, we’re going to struggle,” said NJ Transit Executive Director Kevin Corbett. This summer’s crunch is still complicated by engineers calling out on family leave. It’s running new classes for engineers with 100 due to graduate by the end of the year. NJ Transit’s buying more locomotives and 113 new rail cars. The complaints came as NJ Transit adopted its $1.4 billion capital budget and $2.39 billion operating budgets for FY 2020.
That when it rains there isn’t a river running down the center aisle, or broken seats or doors that don’t close,” said Sen. And then of course we actually need trains that operate. They need to solve their labor problems and they need to make sure that they have enough classes of engineers to operate the trains. “Give us a schedule you can reasonably operate and you can keep, not a schedule that’s imaginary because you have to cancel so many trains.” That’s understandable and people do understand that,” said Steve Thorpe, an advisory board member with NJ Transit’s Senior Citizen and Disabled Resident Transportation Assistance Program. The agency’s scrubbed 100 trains a week on average since mid-May, according to an NJ.com report. It also included a list of outside issues cited by NJ Transit, including a day when power outages plagued the Northeast Corridor.After wishing NJ Transit a happy 40th anniversary, advocates demanded more realistic information in the face of this summer’s ongoing train cancellations. The CBS-2 report cited NJ Transit’s ongoing engineer shortage as part of the issue, along with summer infrastructure work by Amtrak. This came just weeks after a June 27 press conference by Murphy, NJ Transit President and CEO Kevin Corbett, and other officials in which the agency said it had seen a 47 percent decrease in train cancellations over the first three months of 2019 and outlined its improvement efforts. “I have to say myself I don’t have a complete answer on the specifics of June, but on the aggregate the data is getting better.” “The June numbers we’re still trying to analyze,” Murphy said.
