  • New Jersey Transit Seeks Ideas to Move American Dream Shoppers by Andrew Coen Published
    New Jersey Transit seeks ideas to move American Dream shoppers By Andrew Coen Published October 21 2019, 2:20pm EDT New Jersey Transit is exploring a public-private partnership to finance "innovative" transit options to move crowds to and from the Meadowlands for football games and the bond-funded American Dream Meadowlands mall and entertainment venue. The agency announced the innovation challenge last week in an effort to add capacity, shortly before the massive American Dream retail/entertainment complex is set to open Friday. New Jersey Transit, which owns this largely unused rail spur to the Meadowlands, is seeking "innovative" financing to bring people to the new American Dream mall there.Bloomberg News NJ Transit already has a decade-old rail spur built to carry people to events at next-door MetLife Stadium where the NFL’s New York Giants and Jets play. That spur, which has struggled to handle peak crowds at the end of football games, will remain unused on non-game days as NJ Transit, pleading budget limitations, will only offer buses as a public transit option from the Secaucus Junction train station seven miles away. “Through this challenge, we’re exploring the possibility of a public-private partnership to move approximately 20,000 people per hour between Secaucus and MetLife stadium, which is about double our current maximum capacity on rail,” NJ Transit CEO Kevin Corbett said during the agency’s board of directors meeting last Thursday. The Meadowlands Rail Line opened in 2009 and was originally conceived as a link to the mall, which was delayed after the 2008 financial crisis.
