Amid ongoing issues with New Jersey Transit and Amtrak, frustrated commuters and lawmakers are demanding immediate action to address the repeated rail line suspensions and delays on the Northeast Corridor. The impact of these problems is felt all the way down to Monmouth County, where commuters like Frank Stancampiano have been struggling to navigate the chaos and spend hundreds of dollars on alternate transportation. Local Republican lawmakers, including Assemblywoman Vicki Flynn and state Sen. Declan O’Scanlon, are urging urgent action to fix the vital Northeast Corridor, warning of dire consequences for the entire country's transportation infrastructure if the issues persist. With blame being placed on Amtrak for the recent disruptions, Middletown Mayor Tony Perry emphasizes the need for accountable leadership and a comprehensive plan to address the infrastructure challenges. O’Scanlon is calling for legislative action to hold officials accountable and push for real solutions before any payment is made to Amtrak.
