The MTA has a ‘doomsday’ plan if it doesn’t get more federal money. Why doesn’t NJ Transit?

Transit agencies across the nation, including those in New York and Philadelphia, are warning of serious service cuts and reduction in major projects if more federal coronavirus aid fails to materialize to make up for revenue shortfalls caused by the coronavirus.
New York MTA officials called it a “doomsday plan” of service cuts and employee layoffs. SEPTA officials warned of similar reductions without a second round of federal COVID-19 aid. Port Authority officials said its ambitious 10-year capital plan could be cut without $3 billion in federal aid.
