New Jersey

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.

Customers are advised to monitor for potential service disruptions, detours or suspensions on Sunday, Jan. 19 and Monday, Jan. 20.
