May 18, 2025 | nj.gov

Governor Phil Murphy and NJ TRANSIT President & CEO Kris Kolluri today announced a tentative agreement with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers & Trainmen (BLET), ending a three-day rail stoppage. Regular weekday train service will resume with the start of the service day on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, as it takes approximately 24 hours to inspect and prepare tracks, rail cars and other infrastructure before returning to full scheduled service. Contingency plans, including bus service from the four regional Park & Rides, will be in place and operating on Monday, May 19, 2025. NJ TRANSIT will continue to deploy customer ambassadors at stations and Park & Ride locations to assist customers as train service restarts.

NJ SEED: Any strike involving public services is regrettable, but the unionized engineers have been working without a contract since 2019. It is clearly time to resolve the issues, confirm them in a new contract, and restore NJ Transit rail service ASAP. Rail service resumes during the ratification process and as the parties remain at the table negotiating details in good faith.
