Coalition Calls for Rider-Representatives on NJT Board

The Lackawanna Coalition has called for the addition of representatives of New Jersey Transit’s riders as voting members of NJT’s Board of Directors. Senators Raymond J. Lesniak (D-Union) and Nicholas J. Sacco (D-Hudson-Bergen) have proposed Senate Bill S-2084, which calls for voting representatives of the riding public; one for rail riders and the other for bus riders. The Coalition has also call for the Labor delegate, currently a nonvoting Board position, to have a vote, as well.
