The Governor Phil Murphy administration has known for at least two years that a fiscal cliff was on the horizon for N.J. Transit — a forecast that has only ballooned in size and scale over that time. Yet state aid for this current budget cycle is lower than in fiscal year 2020, when it was $668.6 million. No plan was developed by Gov. Murphy and the Legislature to make up for lost farebox revenues, and now riders will likely have to shoulder much of this burden through yearly fare hikes. Now, more than ever, a dedicated annual funding source for N. J. Transit operating money is needed. I have pleaded for years, as have other transit advocates, for such predictable operating funding. Fare increases are non-productive. The money that would be foolishly wasted widening the New Jersey Turnpike should go to N. J. Transit.

Why did NJT wait until after congestion pricing for their price hike? Seems like a scheme to me...
