The New Jersey Transit Police Department (NJTPD) is the transit police agency of NJ Transit. New Jersey Transit Police operates under the authority of Chapter 27 of the NJ Revised Statutes. Title 27:25-15.1 states in part "The Transit Police Officers so appointed shall have general authority, without limitation, to exercise police powers and duties, as provided by law for police officers and law enforcement officers, in all criminal and traffic matters at all times throughout the State and, in addition, to enforce such rules and regulations as the corporation shall adopt and deem appropriate."

Bus rapid transit in New Jersey includes limited stop bus lines, exclusive bus lanes (XBL) and bus bypass shoulders (BBS). Next Generation Bus[22][23] is the term used by NJT to refer to the development of numerous bus rapid transit (BRT) systems across the state which are being studied by the agency, NJDOT, the metropolitan planning organizations of New Jersey (MPO), and contract bus carriers. In 2011, NJT announced that it would equip its entire bus fleet with real-time location, creating the basis for "next bus" scheduling information at bus shelters and web-enabled devices and considered an important feature of BRT.

The logic of Hyatt III supports Ms. Henry's claim that NJT waived any sovereign immunity it might have had by choosing to conduct an ongoing business in the State of New York. Recognizing NJT's consent to being sued in New York reflects the asymmetric nature of the sovereign interests in this case: New Jersey suffers little indignity when its commercial transit business creates injuries within New York's borders and is brought before New York courts to answer for those injuries. New Jersey's consent to jurisdiction reflects its respect for New York's important sovereign interests in governing the safety of its territory and protecting persons within its borders.

NJT would require us to apply a special rule exempting it from liability. Its rule would provide NJT treatment not only more favorable than New York applies to its own transit authorities but also more favorable than NJT would receive in its own home-state court. Indeed, under New Jersey's venue requirements, it is not clear that Ms. Henry would be entitled to sue NJT by right anywhere, even in the state of New Jersey (see Colt v New Jersey Tr. Corp., 206 AD3d 126, 128 [1st Dept 2022] [interpreting NJ Rules of Ct rule 4:3-2 (a)]; but see NJ Rules of Ct Rule 1:1-2 [a] ["Unless otherwise stated, any rule may be . . . dispensed with by the court in which the action is pending if adherence to it would result in an injustice"]).

Covering a service area of 5,325 square miles, NJ TRANSIT is the nation's third largest provider of bus, rail and light rail transit, linking major points in New Jersey, New York and Philadelphia. The agency operates an active fleet of 2,221 buses, 1,231 trains and 93 light rail vehicles. On 253 bus routes and 12 rail lines statewide, NJ TRANSIT provides nearly 270 million passenger trips each year.

NJ TRANSIT also administers several publicly funded transit programs for people with disabilities, senior citizens and people living in the state's rural areas who have no other means of transportation. In addition, the agency provides support and equipment to privately-owned contract bus carriers.

Created by the New Jersey Public Transportation Act of 1979, the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJ TRANSIT) was established to provide a statewide efficient, coordinated, safe and responsive public transportation system which promotes mobility, serves the needs of the transit dependent, fosters commerce, conserves limited energy resources, protects the environment and promotes sound land use and the revitalization of our urban centers. In furtherance of these goals, NJ TRANSIT is empowered to, among other things, acquire and operate public transportation assets, contract for public transportation services, and acquire, own, hold, improve use and otherwise deal in and with real or personal property.

As stakeholders in NJ TRANSIT, State residents are represented by a 13-member Board of Directors, appointed by the Governor. Eleven members are voting members; eight members are from the general public and three are State officials. Two non-voting members are recommended by labor organizations representing the plurality of employees. The agency is structured to encourage broad public participation in the formation of transit policy for the State. NJ TRANSIT's board meets monthly. The Governor can override board actions by vetoing board meeting minutes.

NJ TRANSIT President & CEO Kevin S. Corbett was appointed to lead the agency on February 14, 2018. Mr. Corbett is responsible for the nation's largest statewide public transportation system with more than 11,000 employees providing more than 944,000 weekday trips on 252 bus routes, three light rail lines, 12 commuter rail lines and the agency's Access Link paratransit service.

That surcharge, applied only to businesses that receive over $1 million in profit, could generate $1 billion a year, and some transit advocates hoped it could plug the hole in NJ Transit's operating budget going forward, an idea recently endorsed by Senate President Nicholas Scutari.

New Jersey Transit (NJ Transit) took a big step toward its planned transition to a zero-emission fleet by 2040 with the introduction of its first battery-electric bus. The 40-foot bus is the first of an eight-vehicle base order with New Flyer of America. The $9.4-million contract has options allowing for up to 75 additional zero-emission buses to be ordered.

NJ6. It has been suggested that the state could get more money for New Jersey transit by restoring a tax on corporations in the state and dedicating that money to New Jersey Transit. Would you support or oppose such a plan?

Every day, hundreds of thousands of New Jersey residents rely on public transit to get around, taking trips to work, school, medical appointments, family visits, and to shop and dine. NJ Transit is at the heart of these daily journeys, helping more than 630,000 people statewide go where they need to be while keeping cars off the road and bringing the state closer to its climate and pollution reduction goals.[i] NJ Transit is an engine of economic opportunity and everyday necessity, particularly for people who do not own or drive a car, as well as low-income, Black, and Hispanic/Latinx residents who are more likely to use mass transit.

Everyone in New Jersey benefits from NJ Transit and the options they provide to get around the state. From the white-collar worker taking the train to their office, to the building maintenance worker taking the bus, to the nurse taking the light rail to get to their shift at the hospital, all types of workers depend on mass transit to provide for their families and keep the state running.

Mass transit is also a critical lifeline for low-income families and those who cannot drive or afford their own car. Nearly half of NJ Transit bus riders do not own a car, more than half have an annual income of less than $35,000, and 80 percent rely on the bus more than five times per week.[vii] The racial divide in commuting is also stark: Black workers are three times as likely as white workers to not have a car at home, while Hispanic/Latinx and Asian-American workers are twice as likely as white workers to not have a car.[viii] Further, households in cities with higher concentrations of people of color, like Jersey City and Newark, are more likely to lack access to a vehicle compared to households statewide.[ix] Mass transit ensures mobility and accessibility not only for these families but also for those who are disabled and cannot drive.

Access to these job opportunities not only benefit individual workers and their families, but businesses and the broader economy alike. Businesses benefit from access to a deep and talented pool of workers, and will often move near job centers served by mass transit as a result. This creates a self-reinforcing loop, making states like New Jersey a great place to live and station a business.[xv] 2351a5e196
