The New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJ Transit) received a $16,885,377 Project Grant award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Rail and Transit Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.075). The grant will fund rail and transit security projects from September 2021 through August 2024.
As the objective of the FEMA Rail and Transit Security Grant Program is to protect critical transportation infrastructure and travelers from security threats, the NJ Transit award will likely support initiatives such as infrastructure hardening, surveillance equipment acquisition, and security personnel training. Given NJ Transit's role in providing intrastate rail and bus service for New Jersey, the funded projects are expected to enhance security across rail lines and stations that thousands of commuters utilize daily.
