NJ TRANSIT AGAIN NAMED ONE OF AMERICA’S BEST LARGE EMPLOYERS BY FORBES
2025 List Has Agency in the Top 25 of All Employers in the Transportation and Logistics Industry
February 12, 2025
NEWARK, NJ – For the fifth straight year, NJ TRANSIT has been recognized by Forbes as one of the best places to work, and for the second consecutive year, the agency was named as one of the best large employers in the nation on the 2025 Forbes America’s Best Employers List. This recognition builds upon NJ TRANSIT’s standard of excellence after also being named to the inaugural Forbes 2025 America’s Dream Employers list, as well as being named to Forbes’ 2024 America’s Best-in-State Employers list for the fifth time in the last seven years.
“Our customers are at the center of everything we do, and delivering safe and reliable service starts with fostering a culture of excellence among our employees,” said NJ TRANSIT President & CEO Kris Kolluri. “This recognition from Forbes reinforces our commitment to investing in our workforce, ensuring they have the resources and support needed to provide the best possible service to our customers.”
The 2025 Forbes America’s Best Employers List was compiled through independent surveys from a vast sample of over 217,000 U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 1,000 people within the United States. The survey was conducted with companies from all industry sectors and took an average of 5-8 minutes to complete. NJ TRANSIT ranked 591 out of all large employers nationwide, and 24th of all employers in the "Transportation and Logistics" industry.
The final score was based on two types of evaluations:
Personal – Evaluations given by employees themselves, also known as direct evaluations.
Public – Evaluations given by friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry – also known as indirect evaluations. A much higher weight was placed on personal evaluations.
This resulted in two sub-lists: one for “Mid” sized organizations (those with 1,000 to 5,000 employees) and “Large” sized organizations (those with more than 5,000 employees).
Statista, who Forbes partnered with to conduct the survey, publishes hundreds of worldwide industry rankings and company listings with high-profile media partners. This research and analysis service is based on the success of statista.com, the leading data and business intelligence portal that provides statistics, relevant business data, and various market and consumer studies and surveys.
