NJ Transit will temporarily suspend service statewide Sunday evening as a major snowstorm is expected to bring significant accumulations across New Jersey.
Under the plan, all bus, light rail and Access Link service will be suspended beginning at 6 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 22. Rail service will be suspended statewide by 9 p.m., with NJ Transit warning that some trips will end earlier and that no train will begin a new trip after 9 p.m. from its origin.
NJ Transit said it will assess storm impacts overnight into Monday to determine when it is safe to resume service. Customers were advised to monitor service alerts, the NJ Transit mobile app, njtransit.com and individual line accounts on X for updates.
NJ Transit also cautioned that during a suspension, riders may still see trains and light rail vehicles operating without passengers to keep tracks and overhead wires clear of snow and ice, and urged motorists and pedestrians to obey all crossing signals and use designated crossings.
