This round of renewal work will not require any reductions or modifications in service for Amtrak and NJ TRANSIT trains.
The agency reached one million taps within three months of its initial launch, with the number rapidly climbing toward the milestone of four million tap.
The moves comes after feedback from FTA and U.S. DOT on a previous submission, making more local money available for the project while keeping costs in check.
Work focused on an estimated $30 million investment in the overall renewal of JO railroad interlocking at the east end of the station.
Will reinvest all of the funds that came from this — and other — agreements into existing and future joint NEC infrastructure projects.
MTA Police Department attributes the 20-year crime low to an important shift in its policing practices.
The total cost of the projects is estimated between $45 and $50 million, which will keep this important infrastructure in a state of good repair for Amtrak and benefit New York State with an upgraded, state-of-the art railroad.
Additional personnel and security equipment will be deployed by state agencies, including rapid radiation response trucks, bomb-detecting canines, an increased heavily armed presence, enhanced surveillance, and rapid response vehicles at all high-profile locations.
The app provides real-time gate, train, and boarding information for Amtrak customers and also helps direct passengers throughout the station to find gates, exits, ATMs, and restaurants.
