The Regional Plan Association's report highlights the critical role of NJ Transit in New Jersey, estimating that its absence would cost the state between $12.7 and $13.8 billion annually. It underscores the societal and economic implications of losing this public transit system, projecting increased traffic congestion, accidents, and higher public expenses. The report particularly examines cities with heavy transit commuting and emphasizes the necessity of supporting NJ Transit amidst years of budget shortfalls, suggesting significant repercussions for household values and overall mobility in the state.
Without NJ Transit, there would be gridlock on major corridors, more crashes, increased air and noise pollution, and higher public costs across the board.
The loss of mobility could hamstring the state. Transit-free New Jersey would lose $12.7 to $13.8 billion annually, impacting everyday lives.
