By rejecting Governor Hochul’s multimillion-dollar settlement offer, Governor Murphy is hurting NJ Transit riders only to spite New York. This once-in-a-generation opportunity would secure dedicated funding for NJ Transit without raising fares or taxes. With 447,000 North Jersey commuters crossing the Hudson daily, this deal would deliver immediate benefits to New Jersey families while strengthening our regional transit network.

The math is simple: hundreds of millions in annual transit funding is on the table. But the window to seize this opportunity is closing fast. New Jersey riders, who just absorbed a 15% fare hike, can’t afford to wait.

Governor Murphy has a clear choice: secure a historic investment in NJ Transit’s future, or let this unprecedented opportunity slip away. Governor Murphy- don’t cut off your nose to spite your face. Take the deal, improve NJ Transit, and do the right thing for our region.
