This partnership affirms both NJ TRANSIT – and the state of New Jersey – as worldwide leaders in public transportation services.” “The training sessions to be held at the Rutgers CAIT will offer valuable information to help drive innovation in our industry. “NJ TRANSIT is proud to be a part of establishing UITP’s first Regional Training Center in North America,” said New Jersey Department of Transportation Commissioner and NJ TRANSIT Board Chair Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti. Just as importantly, the establishment of the training center emphasizes our ongoing commitment to invest in the growth and development of our critical public transportation workforce.” “By hosting the first Regional Training Center on the continent, New Jersey will earn worldwide recognition as a North American transportation hub. “New Jersey residents will reap massive benefits from this newly forged partnership, which convenes NJ TRANSIT, New Jersey’s premier state university, and a worldwide leader in sustainable public transportation,” said Governor Phil Murphy.
