March 21, 2018

 

NEWARK, NJ – As snow winds down and road conditions improve following yesterday’s storm, NJ TRANSIT will operate regular weekday service for Thursday, March 22. Customers may expect delays and cancellations due to the residual effects of the storm.

 

Access Link will resume statewide service at noon on Thursday.

 

Customers are strongly advised to build in extra travel time and check the status of the system prior to making their trip by visiting njtransit.com or utilizing the My Transit alert system (www.njtransit.com/mytransit), which delivers travel advisories to your smartphone. 

 

Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, Newark Light Rail and RiverLINE are all expected to operate on regular weekday schedules.

 

The storm brought slushy conditions to parts of the NJ TRANSIT system, causing wet snow on roads and sidewalks. Extreme caution is advised when boarding or exiting buses, trains and light rail vehicles due to possible slippery conditions.

 

Systemwide cross honoring and cross honoring with PATH will NOT be in effect for Thursday.
