NJ: NJ Transit, Amtrak meet to avoid summer of commuting hell
The initial result was NJ Transit and Amtrak agreed to establish a joint incident response committee, and improve communication protocols for quicker and more precise information sharing, when infrastructure incidents happen.
Veteran commuters recall the 2010s had several summers of commuting “hell” promoted by failing old infrastructure on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor line, and the agency doing critical repair work to fix it.
Will 2024 be another summer of hell, in the wake of last month’s and last week’s infrastructure problems that caused NJ Transit delays and train cancellations? NJ Transit CEO Kevin Corbett has some answers, fresh from a face-to-face meeting with Stephen Gardner, his counterpart at Amtrak, and senior staff.
