NJT Response to OLS Questions Department of Transportation and Motor Vehicle Commission FY 2021-2022 Discussion Points NJ Transit 13. Farebox revenue remains heavily depressed since the onset of COVID-19. The FY 2022 Budget in Brief specifies that the pandemic caused NJ Transit train ridership to decline by 75 percent and bus ridership by 50 percent. • Questions: By mode, when are ridership and farebox revenue expected to fully recover from COVID-19? What is the projected revenue gap in FY 2022 and beyond that is attributable to COVID-19? Response: Annual farebox revenue is not expected to return to pre-pandemic norms of nearly $1,000m until at least after 2025, if not later. The projected farebox revenue gap during FY20-FY25 from the FY21 Budget is shown in column “vs. FY21 Budget” in the table below.

NJ TRANSIT subsequently released a revised FY21 budget which was approved by the NJ TRANSIT Board of Directors in October 2020. The revised FY21 budget is not reflected in the Table above. 14. New Jersey Turnpike Authority public documents stated that the intended purpose of increased authority support for NJ Transit was to eliminate reliance on capital funds to support NJ Transit operating costs. The authority identified an ability to provide an additional $350 million in FY 2021 and an additional $525 million annually thereafter. The FY 2021 budget and now the FY 2022 Governor’s Budget both continue the necessity for NJ Transit capital-to-operating transfers, $461 million in FY 2021 and about $360 million in FY 2022, while not utilizing the full extent of funds committed to NJ Transit by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. During an FY 2021 legislative budget hearing, the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation stated that the $350 million in FY 2021 was not included in the budget because the authority was holding it in escrow until needed by NJ Transit. The recommended authority support for FY 2022 is just $350 million, a 1 Department of Transportation and Motor Vehicle Commission FY 2021-2022 Discussion Points (Cont’d) $221 million increase, which is less than the amount identified as available pending the authority toll increase. • Questions: Why is this funding not being utilized to eliminate NJ Transit capital-to- operating transfers? What purpose is served by holding funding in escrow, when capital- to-operating transfers continue and NJ Transit operates under a five-year capital plan with significant unfunded needs? Response: The referenced funding from the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) is subject to an agreement between the NJTA and the State Department of Treasury which is still pending. NJ TRANSIT’s FY22 Operating budget assumes a $98.8 million reduction in capital funding for preventative maintenance expenses (“capital transfer”). That will bring the capital transfer to a 15-year low. NJ TRANSIT incurs over $500 million in maintenance expenses per year and further capital funding reductions in the capital transfer would create a larger operating budget gap. NJ TRANSIT expects to continue to evaluate opportunities for further reductions to balance operating and capital needs. 15. NJ Transit received more than $2 billion in federal COVID-19 assistance under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020 and the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021. The federal government will provide additional significant assistance to NJ Transit under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. • Questions: Please detail the amounts NJ Transit anticipates receiving under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and indicate the purposes for which the funds would be used. By what date would the funds have to be expended? Response: The current estimate for NJ TRANSIT’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocation is approximately $2B. Note that ARPA is a grant which can be used to reimburse eligible operating expenses. ARPA requires recipients to primarily dedicate funding to payroll expenses (labor and fringe). Other eligible operating expenses include, but are not limited to, propulsion (electricity for trains), revenue vehicle fuel, materials and supplies, contracted maintenance services, custodial and disinfection services, and purchased transportation services. The ARPA grant must be obligated by September 30, 2024 and disbursed by September 30, 2029. • Questions: Beyond filling gaps in farebox revenues, what other uses are planned for federal COVID-19 assistance received in calendar years 2020 and 2021? Please provide amounts to be received from each act, and each federal funding category, and the timing of planned expenditures of these funds. Response: NJ TRANSIT is eligible for grant funding through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA), and ARPA. These grants do not replace farebox revenue per se and can only be used to reimburse eligible expenses. Eligible expenses include, but are not limited to, propulsion (electricity for trains), revenue vehicle fuel, materials and 2 Department of Transportation and Motor Vehicle Commission FY 2021-2022 Discussion Points (Cont’d) supplies, contracted maintenance services, custodial and disinfection services, and purchased transportation services. In addition to CARES, CRRSAA, and ARPA, NJ TRANSIT also received $30 million from the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF), allocated through the Department of Treasury. The CRF funds were used to support eligible payroll expenses.

In December 2020, NJ Transit met the federal Positive Train Control deadline for its train system. • Questions: Please provide information about the total cost of Positive Train Control implementation. For each contract, please compare original contract amounts and the final amounts after contract amendments. Are there any further implementation costs expected for Positive Train Control? 3 Department of Transportation and Motor Vehicle Commission FY 2021-2022 Discussion Points (Cont’d) Response: In 2011, at the time NJ TRANSIT retained Parsons Transportation Group to implement Positive Train Control (PTC), NJ TRANSIT estimated the total capital costs of the project to be $225 million. In 2017, NJ TRANSIT amended the estimated total capital cost to implement PTC to be $320 million. In 2019, NJ TRANSIT amended the estimated capital cost to implement PTC to be $500 million. As of January 31, 2021, the current total amount that NJ TRANSIT has expended for PTC system implementation is approximately $433.6 million. The cost of implementing PTC has been entirely funded out of NJ TRANSIT's capital budget. NJ TRANSIT is developing the likely recurring annual cost of maintaining the PTC system. NJ TRANSIT is currently performing ongoing compliance work related to the PTC system certification. 17. The 2018 audit of NJ Transit completed by the North Highland Company found that procurement at NJ Transit was "ripe for reform and reinvention." The report noted delays in the procurement process caused by various issues within NJ Transit. Subsequent to the audit release, NJ Transit has implemented changes to its procurement process. • Questions: Please provide information about changes made to improve the procurement process. Please provide data showing how these changes have resulted in cost savings and faster vendor payments. What is the magnitude of annual operating cost savings realized in the last two years from procurement process changes? Response: NJ TRANSIT procurement was an almost completely paper-based process in 2017. Since 2018, the Procurement Department has initiated and implemented the following process improvements: • Released a procurement manual which received praise from both the FTA and FEMA • Established the Procurement Intake Unit, tasked with managing the posting of bid documents and assisting prospective vendors with how to bid on projects, to optimize the solicitation process • Created an Administrative Proceedings Division (APD) dedicated to the vetting and timely resolution of bid protests, requests for reconsideration, review of potential bidder conflicts and

Specific Recommendations 17 VIII. Phasing the Recommendations – A Blueprint for the Near Future 27 Compiled Appendices Following 31 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Jersey City Local Bus Study was written in response to concerns that portions of the Jersey City local bus network were collapsing as private carriers cut back or eliminated service in its entirety. NJ TRANSIT, the City of Jersey City, the County of Hudson, and the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority funded the work effort. It was prepared by the Bus Service Planning staff at NJ TRANSIT with input from a Technical Advisory Committee composed of individuals representing the funding agencies. The focus of the study is on short-term improvements primarily in Jersey City that need to be implemented as resources such as operating funds and equipment become available. This report describes the existing bus service in Hudson County and presents short- term recommendations for changes and improvements to the local bus system, both in terms of general and systemic issues as well as specific route-by-route actions. More than three dozen action items were identified to improve existing bus operations. These items range from route-specific service adjustments to providing for more ticket and pass sales outlets either by vendors or the installation of ticket vending machines (TVMs).

  • Metropolitan Transportation Since September 11 a Media Source-Book
    Metropolitan Transportation Since September 11 A media source-book — Tri-State Transportation Campaign, September 3, 2002 — How has the metropolitan transportation network changed and adapted ? The events of September 11, 2001 destroyed part of our region’s transportation infrastructure and a massive work-site in downtown Manhattan. It also caused many other jobs to leave downtown. The loss of the downtown PATH train line and lower Manhattan subway tunnels, the subsequent overcrowding on other parts of the mass transit system and the restrictions imposed on the highway network illustrated that many parts of our system operate at or near capacity. That may have implications for future planning and investment. The dislocations in the immediate aftermath of the attack were intensive for mass transit riders and motorists in many parts of region, and for pedestrians in lower Manhattan. Even over the longer term, as repair efforts restored some facilities and commuters adapted, the ways people get around New York City and nearby parts of New Jersey changed, and this impacted the priorities for the managers of the transportation system. Some impacts and changes may persist over the long-term. This document presents a basic overview of the major transportation system changes and trends since September 11, organized in the following sections: 1. What was lost or disrupted 2. Mass transit ridership: regional trends 3. The Manhattan carpool rule: changing the way we drive 4. The street environment downtown 5. Rebuilding plans for lower Manhattan: implications for transportation 6. Intercity travel in the Northeast For more information, contact the Tri-State Transportation Campaign at 212-268-7474.

Bus Driver Fatigue and Stress Issues Study Final Report November 18, 1999 I INTRODUCTION Arrowhead Space and Telecommunications, Inc. conducted a research project to identify unique aspects of operations within the motorcoach industry which may produce bus driver fatigue and stress. Funding for and oversight of the study was provided by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Office of Motor Carriers (OMC). The purpose of this study is to (1) identify from direct interaction with motorcoach owners, safety directors, operations managers, and drivers those fatigue-inducing stresses which they believe are unique to the motorcoach industry; (2) evaluate the relative influence of these stresses on bus driver fatigue; (3) provide relevant feedback to the FHWA/OMC for its use in future decisions which will affect the motorcoach industry; and (4) develop an outreach video to help motorcoach drivers understand the effects of fatigue, the stresses that induce it, and means to reduce it.

  • Regional Transit Projects Project Sheet | Portal Bridge Replacement (Portal North)
    Appendix B Capital Plan Project Sheets Regional Transit Projects Project Sheet | Portal Bridge Replacement (Portal North) Description The existing Portal Bridge is a ±960-foot long structure which carries the Existing: Portal Bridge Northeast Corridor (NEC) over the Hackensack River between Newark Penn Station and Secaucus Junction. The existing movable, swing span bridge was constructed in 1910, is 110-years old, and has exceeded its originally intended service life. Due to its age and frequency of use, the movable bridge is costly and difficult to maintain and experiences frequent breakdowns. The two-track bridge creates a bottleneck between the four-track territories to the east and west and requires train speed reductions of 30% which contributes to a decrease in rail service reliability. Given its low vertical clearance to the river, frequent bridge openings are required to accommodate marine traffic. Also, mechanical component malfunctions often cause the bridge to be open for extended periods of time, resulting in frequent, lengthy delays of rail service on the NEC. Additionally, the existing bridge does not have enough capacity to accommodate anticipated future demand. If funded, this project would replace the existing bridge with a higher, more reliable, double track fixed bridge on a new alignment to the north of the existing bridge. The increased vertical profile would eliminate interruptions to rail service due to required bridge openings. The new north bridge would also eliminate speed restrictions, thereby improving Proposed: New Bridge rail operation and capacity across the span. A second, two-track southern bridge, Portal South, is contemplated separately as part of the overall Gateway Program, which when complete would substantially increase operational capacity along this critical length of the NEC.

  • NEC One-Year Implementation Plan: FY17 Contents
    Northeast Corridor One-Year Implementation Plan Fiscal Year 2017 September 2016 Congress established the Northeast Corridor Commission to develop coordinated strategies for improving the Northeast’s core rail network in recognition of the inherent challenges of planning, financing, and implementing major infrastructure improvements that cross multiple jurisdictions. The expectation is that by coming together to take collective responsibility for the NEC, these disparate stakeholders will achieve a level of success that far exceeds the potential reach of any individual organization. The Commission is governed by a board comprised of one member from each of the NEC states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland) and the District of Columbia; four members from Amtrak; and five members from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The Commission also includes non-voting representatives from four freight railroads, states with connecting corridors and several commuter operators in the Region. 2| NEC One-Year Implementation Plan: FY17 Contents Introduction 6 Funding Summary 8 Baseline Capital Charge Program 10 1 - Boston South Station 12 16 - Shore to Girard 42 2 - Boston to Providence 14 17 - Girard to Philadelphia 30th Street 44 3 - Providence to Wickford Junction 16 18 - Philadelphia 30th Street - Arsenal 46 4 - Wickford Junction to New London 18 19 - Arsenal to Marcus Hook 48 5 - New London to New Haven 20 20 - Marcus Hook to Bacon 50 6 - New Haven to State Line 22 21 - Bacon to Perryville 52 7 - State Line to New Rochelle 24 22 - Perryville to WAS 54 8 - New Rochelle to Harold Interlocking 26 23 - Washington Union Terminal 56 9 - Harold Interlocking to F Interlocking 28 24 - WAS to CP Virginia 58 10 - F Interlocking to PSNY 30 25 - Springfield to New Haven 60 11 - Penn Terminal 32 27 - Spuyten Duyvil to PSNY* 62 12 - PSNY to Trenton 34 28 - 30th St.
