Updated Feb 01, 2021;
As ominous as it sounds, the state of emergency, which takes effect at 7 p.m., means more for the police, fire and other public safety officials responding to the event than it does for the average person.
There’s also commercial vehicle restrictions on several major highways and all state offices will be closed on Monday, except for essential workers
All NJ Transit buses, rail (except Atlantic City Rail Line), light rail and Access Link service will be temporarily suspended systemwide Monday.
