Donald Payne Jr.: “I am proud to work with Chairman DeFazio in making that critical funding available.”

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.

I celebrate the return of the service and note, though, that it took 3 years to restore.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, signed by President Biden in November 2021, provides $22 billion in funding to Amtrak through Fiscal Year 2026.

Can I, again, have your commitment in public that that space is reserved for that flyover to hit at pace so we can ensure that the one-seat-ride is successful on the Raritan Valley Line?
