Transit Appendix
TRANSIT APPENDIX Contains: Future NJ TRANSIT Needs The Port Authority’s Interstate Transportation Role Transit Appendix 1 DRAFT Plan 2045: Connecting North Jersey Draft: Future Transit Needs in the NJTPA Region The following analysis of future transit needs was prepared by NJ TRANSIT to inform the development of Plan 2045: Connecting North Jersey. It will guide the NJTPA’s planning and capital programming activities over the next three decades. The foremost concern in projecting future funding needs is predicated on a fully funded state of good repair program for NJ TRANSIT’s existing public transit system. Addressing ongoing and sustained needs related to rehabilitation and basic systems improvements must also constantly progress in order to maintain a statewide public transit network that is responsive to customer needs. With the need to address a focus on state of good repair as a prerequisite, proposed future expansion projects need to be assessed through a series of physical/operational feasibility, environmental, economic and ridership, fiscal and financial analyses. Ongoing operating and maintenance costs associated with proposed projects are a critical component of analysis, as they have a direct impact on NJ TRANSIT’s annual operating budget. Among the future investment needs being considered for longer term capital funding are the following: Capacity Improvements and Transit Service Expansions Additional Trans-Hudson Public Transit Capacity Various studies are underway to examine ways to increase trans-Hudson bus, rail and ferry capacities. Among the major efforts is the Gateway Program, led by Amtrak, focused on preserving and increasing rail capacity between New Jersey and Manhattan. On a broader level, the Federal Railroad Administration is managing the NEC FUTURE effort examining the future needs of the entire Northeast Corridor from Washington, D.C.

Feasibility Analysis Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Feasibility Analysis Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY April 2011 Submitted by: SYSTRA Consulting, Inc. In Association with: Fitzgerald & Halliday, Inc. Howard/Stein-Hudson Associates, Inc. STV Incorporated Urbitran Associates, Inc. Central New Jersey/Raritan Valley Transit Study Feasibility Analysis Report – Executive Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Overview DISCLAIMER Rail ridership for this study was based on a year 2030 NJ TRANSIT commuter rail system operating plan which included the Access to the Region’s Core (ARC) project. The ARC project would have provided a one-seat ride to Midtown Manhattan on the Raritan Valley Line (RVL). Recently the decision has been made not to progress the ARC project. This decision will change the operating plan possible if rail service was extended causing a change in ridership. The technical work on this project was completed months prior to the decision about ARC. Without an ARC project, the anticipated trans-Hudson ridership will be lower than what is shown in this report due to the lack of direct service to Manhattan. The Central New Jersey/Raritan Valley Transit Study is a feasibility analysis for a wide range of potential transit improvements along the Interstate Route 78 (I-78) Corridor in portions of central and western New Jersey. The Study Area, shown in Figure ES-1, spans portions of Hunterdon, Warren and Somerset counties, with its western limit along the Delaware River at the border of New Jersey and Pennsylvania and the eastern limit along the Raritan Valley Line in Bridgewater, New Jersey in Somerset County. Making transit more attractive would allow residents more travel choices and could help reduce peak period traffic volumes on I-78.

U.S. Department of Transportation FRA File #HQ-2017-1237 Federal Railroad Administration FRA FACTUAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT REPORT SYNOPSIS On December 8, 2017, at 2:08 p.m., EST, eastbound CSX Transportation (CSX) mixed freight Train Q40407, consisting of 3 locomotives and 141 cars (66 loads/75 empties), derailed 31 cars at Consolidated Rail Corporation (CRSH) C.P. Townley on track No. 2. The derailment occurred on Conrail’s Lehigh Line located in Union, New Jersey, milepost (MP) 14.5. The method of operation in this area is signal indication. Train Q40407 was approximately 8,420 feet, weighed approximately 11,642 tons, and was traveling at a recorded speed of 34 miles per hour (mph) when the derailment occurred. The derailment occurred in three different sections of the train. The three locomotives - CSXT 4709, CSXT 5433, and CSXT 2787 - did not derail. The first car behind the locomotives derailed the “B” end truck and remained coupled to the third locomotive. The second through fifteenth cars derailed in an accordion pattern and pileup. The second derailment location of the train involved the twenty-eighth car (TILX 649845 “A” end), twenty-ninth car (WCRC 65415 both wheel sets), and thirtieth car (CBTX 736971 “B” end).

Rail Expansion Project Sheet | Third Track Between Waldwick and Suffern
Appendix B Capital Plan Project Sheets Rail Expansion Project Sheet | Third Track Between Waldwick and Suffern Description The NJ TRANSIT Main Line services an average of 31,450 passengers per Existing: Track Configuration day between Suffern, NY and Hoboken Terminal, and is one of the most heavily used NJ TRANSIT rail lines. Working east to west from Hoboken, the two-track Main Line and two-track Bergen County Line merge into three tracks at Ridgewood Junction. The line then operates on three tracks from Ridgewood to Waldwick but reduces to two tracks from Waldwick to Suffern. This two track section west of Waldwick limits the Main Line’s capacity and prevents express trains from passing through occupied stations. If funded, this project would continue the third track (Track 3) west from Waldwick to Suffern to provide additional capacity along the Main Line. Extension of Track 3 would require widening of multiple existing bridges, increased vertical clearance for the bridge over Route 202, the closing of various grade crossings, and the construction of new bridges over four existing highways. Additionally, all five existing stations along the limits of the proposed third track would require modifications, which include new, accessible high-level platforms and pedestrian tunnels to accommodate the additional track. The existing interlocking at Suffern and Waldwick would also be upgraded to allow trains to efficiently switch between the three tracks. Ultimately, this project would provide the capacity enhancement necessary to keep pace with ridership growth and provide a more reliable experience for Main Line and Bergen County Line customers. This work would be coordinated with the proposed WC Interlocking project, which will extend Track 3 into Waldwick Yard.
