A New Jersey law signed in 2020 calls for NJ Transit to make sure all of its bus purchases are zero-emission vehicles by the end of 2032.
According to a report released Wednesday by New Jersey Policy Perspective, there s no way the transit agency will come close to achieving that goal, unless something changes. In fact, according to the progressive think tank, progress toward a fully electric bus fleet will already be well behind schedule in just the next few years.
NJPP s report, which was released with a news conference over Zoom, pointed to the many ways NJ Transit can help offset the costly acquisition and deployment of electric buses, and identified potential sources of funding to make full electrification an attainable goal sooner rather than later.

March 2, 2021: Zenaida Morales holds a framed image of herself with her late husband Reinaldo Rojano at her home in Elizabeth. Reinaldo Rojano died of COVID-19 at age 44.
After having a light cough for three days last spring, Miguel Mestiza Valderrabano called his partner Ana Maria Lorenzo to say that, when she got home from work, he planned to go to the hospital. He would never make it, and the mental image of his 32-year-old lifeless body on their living room floor still haunts her.
“I couldn’t believe that had happened in minutes,” Lorenzo said. She had just arrived home from her cleaning job her first assignment in weeks after she’d lost work during the shutdown and a neighbor warned her that Valderrabano said he was struggling to breathe.
