NJ Transit announced a state of emergency starting at 10 p.m. Saturday, warning riders to ride only if they must because a powerful storm will affect service up to Monday.
This is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.
NJ Transit Deploys Emergency Procedures and Travel Advisories
NJ Transit is preparing for the worst weather by planning across its rail, bus, and light rail lines. Authorities have stated that operations will proceed only until the situation remains secure. Due to the forcefulness of the storm, temporary shutdowns are a possibility that can be given little notice.
Travelers are advised to check njtransit.com and the regular cell phone app for up-to-the-minute service information. The agency’s Emergency Operations Center will remain open during the storm to coordinate response and communication activities in real time.
Cross-honoring will be in effect on Sunday and Monday across all NJ Transit modes. This policy allows customers to utilize their tickets across any NJ Transit service to preserve flexibility in event disruptions.
NJ Transit Coordinats with Weather and Transport Authorities
A wind advisory was put in effect across New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey from noon Sunday to 6 p.m. Monday. Wind can reach 45 miles per hour, and a coastal flood warning is still in effect for coastal flooding areas.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority of New York will prohibit empty tractor-trailer trucks and tandem trucks on seven busy bridges this time. Authorities stress that the prohibition is designed to safeguard both infrastructure and drivers against high-wind dangers.
The timing and intensity of the storm will challenge the mettle of the region’s transport network. NJ Transit’s planning and coordination with state agencies reflect its concern with the public during extreme weather.
Specialists recommend planning alternate routes, leaving early, and avoiding journeys. Passengers that have to travel should be prepared for increased journeys and possible hold-ups throughout the network.
