The NJT2030: A 10-Year Strategic Plan will see NJ Transit embark on creating its sustainability plan, incorporating feedback from stakeholders throughout the state to help shape the future of sustainability at the agency. This plan and its implementation are the next steps in advancing the firm’s commitment to sustainability.
“Thanks to the comprehensive roadmap established through NJT2030, NJ Transit is working harder than ever to promote a more sustainable future for our planet,” said president & CEO Kevin S Corbett. “NJ Transit’s first-of-its-kind sustainability plan will build on efforts already underway in a cleaner rail and bus fleet, expanding and optimizing solar energy assets, implementing energy efficiency and conservation measures – in short, furthering our goal to be one of the most socially responsible, environmentally-friendly transit agencies in the world.”
Through this plan, NJ Transit will create a vision to establish a more sustainable future for the planet, the communities it serves, and for the NJ Transit organization. Sustainability themes like water and energy consumption, equitable transportation, clean vehicle technology, resiliency, and the customer experience are among the themes that will be explored in the plan.
The first step in creating the sustainability plan is identifying what matters most to NJ Transit’s stakeholders to prioritize the factors that will advance its role in sustainability. NJ Transit will be reaching out to stakeholders including the general public, environmental advocates, community leaders, customers and the agency’s employees to develop the framework of the plan.
