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.

  • Hackensack Meadowlands District Master Plan Update 2020
    J E R S E Y S P O R T N E W S & E X Y P O R I T S I T I O N A U T H O HACKENSACK MEADOWLANDS DISTRICT MASTER PLAN UPDATE 2020 FEBRUARY 2020 AN UPDATE TO THE 2004 MASTER PLAN The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (NJSEA) is pleased to present the Hackensack Meadowlands District Master Plan Update 2020. As the first update since 2004, this vital plan sets the pathway for the Meadowlands District’s continued and expanded economic growth and environmental preservation objectives. It exemplifies the agency’s commitment to sound regional planning that over the past 50 years has transformed the District into a premier economic hub and facilitated a remarkable environmental renaissance. The Master Plan Update will advance the substantial economic growth and development that has occurred within the Meadowlands District since the Legislature’s adoption of the Hackensack Meadowlands Reclamation and Development Act in 1968, by providing for a suitable array of land uses responsive to modern development trends, and encouraging redevelopment opportunities that foster economic vitality with job creation. It will build upon the region’s economic foundation and continue to generate quality tax ratables for constituent municipalities by assisting in the growth of established businesses, attracting new companies to the area, and offering high quality employment opportunities, while providing the framework for detailed strategic plans to address flooding, transportation, and housing affordability challenges. Simultaneously, the Master Plan Update provides for the continued protection and enhancement of the District’s environment, as evidenced by steady improvements to the District’s water quality and the preservation and/or restoration of more than 1,000 acres of wetlands since 2004.
