Over 15,000 residents depend on NJ TRANSIT for daily travel necessities, yet face unreliable service with transfers needed into Manhattan. A missed connection can extend commutes by 40 minutes, highlighting significant issues for commuters. The Gateway Program is urgently needed, involving the construction of a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River and upgrades to existing infrastructure to prevent system failure and enhance service capacity. The project will not only improve reliability but also support economic growth through increased train services.
Reliable train service on the Raritan Valley Line is a necessity for over 15,000 residents who rely on NJ TRANSIT daily to reach their essential destinations.
Currently, Raritan Valley Line riders face transfers at Newark during peak hours, which can add up to 40 minutes to their commute due to potential delays.
The Gateway Program promises crucial infrastructure improvements with a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River, rehabilitating old tunnels to secure connections between New Jersey and New York.
The Gateway Program is vital not only for fixing tunnels but also for enhancing track upgrades and expanding Penn Station to increase train capacity and economic potential.
