Last week, most of you saw that Capital NY ran a story stating that NJ TRANSIT commuters should be very concerned that the 100 year-old Amtrak tunnels under the Hudson river will likely need to be closed for repairs in the next few years (to be specific - at least one tunnel will probably be shut down before new tunnels can physically be constructed). So in case you missed this story in Business Insider back in May, heres some of the background info you may have missed about the ARC tunnel construction project that Gov. Christie unilaterally canceled in 2010 - and the very real effects for commuters like you and me: businessinsider/chris-christies-tunnel-decision-2014-5 If youre asking yourself, What can we do about this? Let me be clear - we are working on a voter awareness campaign targeted at NJs US Congressional delegation. We are going to need our US Reps and US Sens to fight for immediate funding for the new Amtrak Gateway Tunnel. Please stay tuned here at The Delayed on New Jersey Transit Support Group for more info in the coming weeks! Until then - please share this article far and wide. And feel free to call your Congressman/woman and our two US Senators at anytime to make your voice heard: votesmart.org
