NJ Transit suspends almost all service Monday due to storm Follow Us
Question of the Day By - Associated Press - Sunday, January 31, 2021
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - New Jersey Transit officials have announced suspension of all NJ Transit buses, rail, light rail and Access Link service, with the exception of the Atlantic City rail line, for the entire day Monday due to the approaching storm.
Officials said that given the volume of snow and the timing of the storm, with highest accumulations beginning in mid-morning, “there is a significant risk of not being able to get customers back to their origin points later in the day.” In addition, as regards bus service, roads need to remain clear for snow removal, officials said.

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ Although a new COVID-19 vaccination site opened in East Brunswick, it does not guarantee town residents will receive the vaccinations anytime soon due to a nationwide shortage.
At his COVID-19 briefing on Wednesday, East Brunswick Mayor Brad Cohen clarified that the vaccines are distributed by the state and county and that the mayor has no control over the distribution. At this point in time we are all in the same scenario. There are simply just not enough vaccines coming to the state, and the state therefore does not have the ability to make sure the counties get a regular supply on a regular enough schedule, he said.
