As a result of today’s tragic events, NJ TRANSIT is currently in a heightened state of alert.

While there has been no specific threat made to our transit system at this time, NJ TRANSIT police have deployed both uniformed and plain clothed officers to further patrol our system and keep our customers safe.

NJ TRANSIT police are also in constant communication with local, state and federal authorities.

We are reminding our customers to observe their surroundings and report any suspicious or unusual activity to NJ TRANSIT police. Again, that number is 1-888-TIPS-NJT.

The hearts and thoughts of all of us at NJ TRANSIT go out to those affected by this senseless tragedy.
