New Jersey

New Jersey Assemblyman Chris DePhillips wants state lawmakers to rescind the NJ Transit fare hike set for July 1 and the new corporate transit fee proposed by Gov. Phil Murphy, citing the undue burden they place on New Jersey residents and businesses during an already challenging economic climate.

Curtis Bashaw, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in New Jersey, said he opposed a NJ Transit fare hike, arguing that commuters shouldn’t pay more for NJ Transit’s and Amtrak’s failures.

NJ Transit officials cut the ribbon on a renovated Elizabeth Station that includes additional platform capacity, new station buildings and a renovated public plaza.
