Madison - Governor Phil Murphy today reinforced his commitment to establishing a safer, fairer, more customer-friendly transit system for New Jerseyans, outlining plans for the additional $242 million state investment in NJ TRANSIT announced in his budget address last week. The 172 percent funding increase for Fiscal Year 2019 will begin putting NJ TRANSIT back on track – without a fare hike.
This funding will enable NJ TRANSIT to work toward improving the delivery of services and the customer experience, as well as restoring its fiscal stability. The funding in Governor Murphy’s proposed budget will help NJ TRANSIT begin rebuilding itself to provide customers with the quality service they deserve.
$11 million – Other growth that will provide additional support for NJ TRANSIT to address various work priorities across its administrative functions.
