New Jersey Sen. Troy Singleton will host a public meeting with NJ Transit President and CEO Kris Kolluri, focusing on River LINE service reliability, accountability, communication and safety.
The meeting will take place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 13, at the Palmyra Community Center located at 30 W. Broad Street in Palmyra. Following a presentation from NJ TRANSIT, there will be a public comment session.
“As NJ TRANSIT assumes full operation of the River LINE, we felt it was necessary to bring leadership back before the public to share its improvement plan and outline any progress made since our last meeting,” Singleton, D-Burlington, said in a release. “A year ago, riders voiced real concerns about cancellations and delays, communication failures, and safety issues that have undermined confidence in the system. We’re hopeful that this new transition will mark a turning point in overall reliability, timeliness, and service.”
Last fall, Singleton convened a River LINE public meeting where more than 150 riders and residents attended to voice their concerns about public and pedestrian safety, lack of timely communication, uncleanliness of platforms and trains, and poor reliability and maintenance, among other issues.
These public meetings are just one component of what Singleton’s office said is a commitment to addressing issues regarding the River LINE. Other efforts include holding the agency accountable for delays and cancellations, especially in the summer months; calling for more pedestrian and track safety after two tragic accidents last year; and improving public safety in the River LINE communities by securing funding for the Burlington County Sheriff’s Office to assist local police departments.
