The new schedule remains a challenge for South Orange riders, many of whom addressed the trustees.
With Senator Richard Codey, Assemblywoman Mila Jasey and Assembly John McKeon in attendance, NJ Transit officials told South Orange trustees that January is the soonest a wholesale train schedule change could be made. However, in response to a challenge from Village President Alex Torpey, the agency promised to look into adding a stop to an existing express during the 6 p.m. rush hour. "As soon as possible," said spokesman Paul Wyckoff. "We'll get on that tomorrow." Officials also conceded that South Orange service has decreased in the last week, since the new commuter schedule took effect.

The board of trustees will consider whether or not to remove policy for non-union members.
NJ Transit on Monday proposed eliminating a policy that allows unlimited free travel on rail, light rail, and bus lines for the agency's non-union employees, according to NJT Spokeswoman Nancy Snyder. The policy, which has been in effect for 30 years, will be considered by the NJT Board of Directors at their meeting Monday, Oct. 15. If approved by the board, it will be subject to Gov. Chris Christie's veto period, Snyder said.

Safety initiative comes after death of three teenagers in October
A variety of safety measures will sweep New Jersey Transit lines within the next year or so, transportation officials announced Wednesday, in an effort to reduce the number of accidental train deaths across the state. The safety improvements, which include improved signage, warning systems and educational programs, are the result of a three-month study by the Safety Along Railroads Leadership Oversight Committee, formed in wake of the deaths of three teenagers by New Jersey Transit trains last October. "We are really energized about this with a sense of purpose to move forward from the sorrow and grief of each railroad fatality," said James Simpson, commissioner of New Jersey Department of Transportation, at a press conference Wednesday at…
