NJ TRANSIT has suspended all rail, bus, light rail, and Access Link service in New Jersey due to a major winter storm and significant snow accumulation. The shutdown began on Sunday night at 9 p.m. and will continue through the start of Monday's service day, with a gradual resumption of operations once conditions improve.

Why it matters

The suspension of all NJ TRANSIT services will significantly disrupt travel for commuters and residents across the state, with no alternative public transportation options available during the shutdown. This will impact access to work, school, and other essential destinations, especially for those who rely on NJ TRANSIT as their primary means of transportation.

The details

NJ TRANSIT said the suspension includes all rail, bus, light rail, and Access Link services. While rail service is suspended, cross-honoring between Hoboken and New York via PATH and NY Waterway Ferry is also suspended. NJ TRANSIT noted that some trains and light rail vehicles may still be seen operating without passengers to help keep tracks and overhead wires clear of snow and ice.

• The service shutdown began at 9 p.m. on Sunday, February 23, 2026.
• NJ TRANSIT services will remain suspended through the start of the Monday service day.

What’s next

NJ TRANSIT has not provided a specific timeline for the full restoration of services, stating that operations will resume gradually when conditions allow.
