NJ Governor Explores Merging Turnpike & Transit
Description
Governor Mikie Sherrill is contemplating a merger between the New Jersey Turnpike Authority and NJ Transit to address NJ Transits aging equipment and funding issues. Kris Kolluri has been appointed to lead both agencies, aiming for better coordination and fresh ideas. This move echoes a similar strategy from two decades ago and is inspired by the Maryland model of consolidating transportation entities.
