Here’s who is on Sherrill’s nuclear task force

On April 8, Gov.

NJ Transit receives first of 374 new Multilevel III rail cars, touts other upgrades

Governor Mikie Sherrill, Congressman Rob Menendez, Congresswoman Nellie Pou and NJ Transit President and CEO Kris Kolluri showcased advancements made in modernizing the state-owned public transportation system’s fleet of vehicles, highlighted by the arrival of the first of 374 next generation multilevel rail cars. The Multilevel III rail car will undergo several months of final testing and commissioning in New Jersey before being joined by up to 40 additional new cars which are expected to be deployed into passenger service later this year. During an April 13 event at NJ Transit’s Meadows Maintenance Complex in Kearny, NJ Transit also displayed a new 40-foot bus, a new Access Link paratransit vehicle, and a new mobile police command center. Earlier this year, NJ Transit unveiled the first of its fully renovated River LINE light rail vehicles. This represents an investment of more than $3 billion dollars and is a major step forward in the agency’s plan to fully modernize its rail and bus fleets by 2031. “New Jersey commuters deserve a transit system that is reliable and state-of-the-art,” said Governor Mikie Sherrill. “That’s why my budget makes a historic investment to modernize one of the oldest rail fleets in the nation — starting with 40 new rail cars and 250 new buses this year. “By upgrading its fleet of vehicles, NJ Transit is providing greater comfort, efficiency, and dependability to riders statewide. Combined with historic projects like the Portal North Bridge and Gateway Tunnel, we’re making sure commuters have a better ride now and in the future.” The new Multilevel III rail cars provide dramatically increased mechanical reliability. This will allow NJ Transit to retire rail cars that were built in the 1970s that operate between 30,000 to 40,000 miles before a mechanical failure and replace them with cars that are ten times more reliable, traveling approximately 400,000 miles before a mechanical failure. Customer amenities include additional seating capacity and enhanced accessibility, higher operating speeds up to 110 m.p.h. as well as USB charging ports and new onboard information screens. The new rail cars will replace NJ Transit’s aging Arrow III and Comet II and IV single-level cars. The first car to be delivered to NJ Transit is a multilevel power car. Power cars are passenger coaches equipped with traction motors. They can propel themselves and two other passenger cars without locomotives, or they can be combined with additional power cars operating trainsets as long as 14 cars. Power cars provide faster acceleration than can be achieved by locomotive-driven trainsets. The new multilevel cars are being manufactured by Alstom in Plattsburgh, NY and are among the first of their kind in the nation. New 40-foot buses include USB charging ports at multiple seats, brighter LED interior lighting for comfort and energy efficiency, and low-floor design with ramps for faster, easier boarding – especially for seniors and customers with disabilities. The buses also feature improved intercom systems for clearer announcements and enhanced safety and security measures such as onboard security cameras, blind-spot cameras to assist bus operators, and turn-warning systems to alert pedestrians when buses are making turns. Access Link presented its new BraunAbility ProMaster Low Floor vehicle – a purpose-built, ADA-compliant low-floor vehicle designed to allow faster and easier embarking and disembarking for both ambulatory and non-ambulatory clients, including but not limited to senior citizens and customers with disabilities. The vehicles are configured to accommodate five ambulatory passengers and one wheelchair passenger. Access Link plans to place these vehicles into service in the summer of 2026. The new mobile police command center is a 45-foot state-of-the-art vehicle. It features dual entry points, three separate rooms, including a front operations room with six fully equipped workstations, a middle support area with communications equipment, and a rear conference room with seating for 12, providing a functional and flexible workspace. The new mobile police command center has the technological capabilities to serve as a centralized command hub for both critical incidents and planned events. At an event in January of this year in Trenton, NJ Transit unveiled the first River LINE light rail vehicle to feature a fully renovated passenger compartment and a recent engine overhaul as part of continuing efforts to enhance the customer experience and improve service reliability. Improvements include new LED lighting, replaced seating, new flooring, updated signage and more. This first renovated vehicle is wrapped in graphics celebrating America’s 250th birthday. NJ Transit plans to upgrade 14 light rail vehicles over the next few years as part of this program. The unveiling of this equipment across all modes of travel affirms NJ Transit’s commitment to upgrading and modernizing its fleet of vehicles to deliver greater reliability and an enhanced customer travel experience.

Ground broken in Avenel for affordable senior and veterans housing community

Gov. Mikie Sherrill was joined on April 10 by legislators and local office holders at a groundbreaking ceremony for the Petersen Commons in the Avenel section of Woodbridge, a 60-unit 100% affordable senior and veterans housing community. Sherrill highlighted her administration’s commitment to effectively end veteran homelessness in New Jersey, backed by a dedicated investment in the Governor’s Fiscal Year 2027 budget. The budget includes $11 million for the existing Bringing Veterans Home initiative, which has adopted strategies to transition homeless veterans from temporary housing placements to stable, permanent housing solutions. Sherrill, a Navy veteran, has made honoring those who served a key priority. During budget speech in March, Sherrill emphasized protecting the Affordable Housing Trust Fund so the money could be used to build housing that’s affordable. “And it supports programs to get vets into permanent housing. Because this is the year we effectively end veteran homelessness in New Jersey,” she said. In March, the governor participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Montvale to open a six-unit apartment complex designed for homeless and disabled veterans. “Today’s groundbreaking at Petersen Commons represents our commitment to ensuring every New Jerseyan — especially those who have served our country — can age with dignity in a safe, affordable place to call home,” said Sherrill. As a military veteran, I am grateful to our partners for their shared efforts to expand affordable housing across New Jersey.” Since its launch, the Bringing Veterans Home program has supported more than 1,450 permanent housing placements. The $11 million investment in the fiscal year 2027 budget builds on that momentum, ensuring the program has the resources needed to fulfill the governor’s pledge. The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs and the New Jersey Department of Veterans Affairs are anticipated to reach all known homeless veterans this year. The Petersen Commons community, expected to be completed in the spring of 2027, will provide affordable housing opportunities for adults 55 and over, with a preference given to veterans. These initiatives are part of a broader housing strategy outlined in Gov. Sherrill’s fiscal year 2027 budget, including $70 million for the Affordable Housing Trust Fund and increasing down payment support for first-time home buyers.

$5M World Cup Community Initiative grant applications now open

Choose New Jersey, the state’s leading nonprofit business-attraction organization, announced that $5 million in grants is available to state-based organizations to host public fan experiences and events in celebration of FIFA World Cup 2026 in New Jersey this summer. Governor Mikie Sherrill announced the launch of the $5 million World Cup Community Initiative earlier this year. With support from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) and the FIFA World Cup 26 New York New Jersey Host Committee, this initiative will help communities across the state create exceptional fan experiences throughout the World Cup. “The FIFA World Cup 2026 will put New Jersey on a global stage, and its lasting impact will be felt in our neighborhoods,” said Gov. Sherrill. “These grants empower communities across the state to create experiences that reflect who we are — diverse, dynamic and deeply connected to small businesses and local culture.” Last month, the NJEDA allocated funding to support the state’s World Cup Community Initiative. Following this disbursement, the NYNJ Host Committee selected Choose New Jersey as a strategic partner to administer the funding and manage the initiative. The two types of events supported are: New Jersey Large-scale, Multi-Day, Multi-Location Events: Funds will be deployed for major fan zone experiences strategically distributed throughout New Jersey, creating large-scale public viewing destinations for fans across the state. Applicants must be New Jersey-based 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(6) nonprofit organizations. Apply here for large events. Applications close on April 13 at 11:59 p.m. New Jersey Smaller Statewide Initiatives: Separate funds will be deployed to support smaller-scale, high-impact events across New Jersey. These include regional fairs, community festivals, cultural celebrations and public watch parties. Grants will be awarded directly to eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and government entities hosting events. Apply here for smaller statewide events. Applications close on April 16 at 11:59 p.m. The grants will help activate fan zones, street fairs, watch parties and festivals that showcase New Jersey’s communities and amplify the impact of small businesses throughout the state. “The FIFA World Cup presents a tremendous economic opportunity for municipalities and small businesses across New Jersey, and Gov. Sherrill is committed to ensuring these opportunities result in real impacts for residents,” said NJEDA Chief Executive Officer Evan Weiss. “In a few months, all eyes will be on the Garden State and this initiative, led by Choose New Jersey, will highlight the vibrancy of New Jersey’s people, businesses and communities to the world.” Inquiries regarding the Community Initiative Grants may be directed to Choose New Jersey via email at eventgrant26@choosenj.com.
