Despite a stalled national and regional economy and skyrocketing fuel costs, the Corporation rose to the challenge by cutting spending, increasing non- farebox revenue and more effectively managing its resources to reduce a reliance on state subsidies. Those actions allowed us to keep fares stable during the fiscal year, something we are committed to doing again in FY2012. NJ TRANSIT remains an integral part of the state’s transportation network, linking New Jersey residents to jobs, health care, education and recreational opportunities. A number of investments paid dividends for customers this year, including the opening of new or rehabilitated stations, more retail options at stations, continued modernization of the rail and bus fleet, and placing new service-specific technology into the hands of customers.

Steady leadership bridged a change in administrations and helped bring clarity and purpose to the choices that we made to cut spending, increase revenue and target limited resources. A careful selection of projects that we advanced during the year created a portfolio of investments that will pay dividends to our customers in the days and years ahead, when economic and ridership growth return. As the fiscal year unfolded, we responded proactively to ridership declines triggered by a sluggish job market and reduced state funding. Austerity measures, including an emergency spending freeze, cuts in executive salaries and other steps, signaled that the corporation understood the need to make sacrifices before it asked customers late in the fiscal year to pay a higher percentage of the actual cost for the transit services they depend on. It is a testament to the professionalism of NJ TRANSIT leadership and its employees that, despite this difficult fiscal environment, they focused on the future and launched or delivered projects that will serve as the foundation for an improved, interconnected and multimodal public transportation network.
