Improved weekend service isn't a priority, that's why we're working to make it one. Sign our petition at hudcostreets.org/panynj/action and let's elevate the PATH as a political priority.

We're organizing to improve and extend the PATH, incl. canvassing. Join us at hudcostreets.org/panynj/volun...

On the PATH, #5 busiest metro in America, weekend ridership is above pre-pandemic levels -- but weekend service has been cut, while rush hour service increased. It makes no sense!! The overcrowding on weekends for 20-minute (!!!) service is unbearable.

Bingo. As there's no extra maintenance happening on the WTC line, the PATH should be running more trains at least from JSQ-WTC, or even from NWK.

They added "bonus trains" on weekends on the WTC line. Great, now run those trains regularly as scheduled service.

The Turnpike Authority is still going full-steam ahead with the 2-bridge replacement widening in Phase 1. I wouldn't call it "hesitance" until that project is paused or cancelled.

The part that Commissioner O'Connor referred to was the Phase 2+ widening from exit 14A north into Jersey City.

The Turnpike widening is paid for by hwy tolls that were hiked by 35% in 2020; dedicated funding, insulated from state budget woes.

Look at it the other way around. Instead of replacing the current bridge with two 4-lane bridges, build just one and spend the remaining $5B on transit.

The overcrowding in December was intense and dangerous. The PATH even ran a few "bonus trains" to relieve the crowding. This is why we're calling for more frequent, permanent service on the PATH on weekends. Make the bonus trains permanent, 10m WTC service! hudcostreets.org/panynj/action

Hi @replamonica.bsky.social, thank you for standing up for New Jersey! I had a question but didn't get to it during the townhall: The PATH is the busiest transit system in Districts 8 and 10. How do we ensure the PATH is protected during this time, and are there opportunities to improve it?

This map is incredible. Any idea of the original source? I saw it was included in Gov Hochul's presentation in DC to President Trump.

There isn't a single county in NJ with more car commuters than transit. Hudson County is 92% transit into NYC!

The bike infrastructure in the heart of Jersey City is outstanding! It's the best way to get around the city for medium-length trips: fast, convenient, affordable and - now - safe. It makes the entire city safer and cleaner. Great to see the growing popularity. Build it and they will come!

Well said. Living within view of the Statue of Liberty 🗽 is a poignant reminder that, for centuries, America has welcomed immigrants & refugees to make this country a better place. Settlement services are a no-brainer and have an immediate ROI - they help people integrate and contribute sooner.

Really disappointed to see the continued opposition to the Congestion Relief Zone by @govmurphy.bsky.social. The program clearly works. The overwhelming majority of New Jerseyans travel to NYC by transit - where is your investment and advocacy for transit? Come on!
