The few times that I don't use Amtrak to come to work, I drive down, and I have to leave between midnight and 4 o'clock in the morning in order to bypass all that traffic between New Jersey and Washington, DC.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, signed by President Biden in November 2021, provides $22 billion in funding to Amtrak through Fiscal Year 2026.
I introduced the One-Seat-Ride Act, to direct the Secretary of Transportation to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of a one-seat-ride trip versus a transfer trip option during peak hours on New Jersey Transit's Raritan Valley Line.
For the first time, this mode of transportation has guaranteed funding for multiple years.
