New Jersey

Forbes has recognized NJ Transit as one of the best places to work for the fifth straight year and one of the best large employers in the nation on the 2025 Forbes America’s Best Employers List for the second consecutive year.

With Gov. Phil Murphy’s Fiscal 2026 budget address approaching on Feb. 25, the New Jersey Business & Industry Association wants the $1 billion Corporate Transit Tax levied on New Jersey’s largest job creators to be fully dedicated to its intended target – NJ Transit.

The union that represents NJ Transit’s train engineers has rejected a settlement recommended by a federal board overseeing its wage dispute with the state transit agency, clearing the path to a possible strike in March.
