Overcrowding is an issue. Not just on NJ Transit, but within the NYC subway. Will only get worse, not better. Again, going back to the issue of time. Relief will come in the long run, but I would expect a decade or more of dealing with overcrowded, overcapacity transit lines.

I've been lighting candles and preforming rites for the authorization of either

DRIVE ACT...

To be fair, I think the one thing we have going for us this time around is the election cycle - and the pesky little thing about the Highway Trust Fund.
I'm confident something will get passed, beyond a CR (I don't know why, just a feeling). The question is what. The administration's proposal seems a little more beefy, but I think what the Senate has proposed has actual teeth. We'll see...
