We have presenters confirmed for our meetings through June. All meetings will take place on Mondays at 7:00 at Millburn Town Hall.

Our next meeting will take place on March 23d. Our presenter will be Michael Slack, Chief Information Officer at New Jersey Transit. He will update us on What is New in IT at NJT.

On April 27th, our presenter will be Rev. J. Charles Riecks, who will be visiting from Charleston, West Virginia. "Chuck" is Vice-President for Legislative Policy and Strategy for the National Association of Railroad Passengers (NARP) and head of the Friends of the Cardinal, an organization that advocates for improvements on the Amtrak train that runs through his home state. He will share his strategies for campaigning successfully on rail issues in West Virginia, and his ideas could be useful for our efforts in Trenton.

Our May meeting will take place on May 18th (the third Monday). Our presenter will be Steven F. Fittante, Director of Local Programs Support at NJT. He will share his ideas on using scheduled transit and Community Transportation to create an enhanced mobility network. He has shared his ideas at national transit conferences, and he will share them with us, too.

Our presenter on June 22d will be our Treasurer, Jesse Gribin. Jesse has some ideas on Making the Best Use of Our Transit Infrastructure, so the system can move as many people as possible until new tunnel capacity to Manhattan can be built and placed into service.

You don't need to be a member of the Coalition to attend a meeting and learn about us. Millburn Town Hall is located at 375 Millburn Avenue, within walking distance of the Millburn Station on the Morris & Essex rail line.
