News Release

Statement on New Jersey Governor Murphy's Budget Address

share

NEWARK, NJ - The following statement can be attributed to Tom Wright, President and CEO of Regional Plan Association.

“Governor Murphy’s commitment to not raise fares for NJTransit riders is an important win for essential workers and for New Jersey’s recovery from COVID. His budget is also an important step in the process to stop relying on capital funds to cover operating costs – the ​‘capital to operating’ transfer that has gone on for decades and denied NJTransit riders of the system improvement they need. RPA applauds Governor Murphy for his commitment to sustaining and improving equitable transit and looks forward to working with the State Legislature to identify dedicated funding sources that will provide investments that will last decades.”
