NJ Transit Protecting Commuters, Staff from COVID-19

New Jersey

NJ TRANSIT's operating units have in place clear protocols and procedures for the cleaning and disinfection of rolling stock, vehicles and public facilities.

Our Frequently Asked Questions provide answers to your questions about our ongoing response to COVID-19.

NJ TRANSIT has enhanced its cleaning efforts to include disinfecting vehicles every 24 hours.

Hard surface cleaning and disinfecting typically includes handholds, arm rests, seating areas and restrooms.

Our enhanced cleaning regimen in stations includes additional disinfecting of frequent customer touchpoints such as ticket vending machines, handrails, and door handles. In major stations and terminals, this occurs once every shift.

The cleaning agents used in this effort are deemed effective for these purposes and contain anti-viral components such as bleach/water mixes and other disinfectant sprays.

Areas regularly cleaned include are doors, door knobs, windows, benches, partitions, trash cans, elevators, escalators, handrails, ledges, all restrooms and floor surfaces and all floor mats.

NJ TRANSIT is closely engaged with the New Jersey Department of Health and other state and federal resources to carefully monitor, and if need be, respond to emergent health concerns that have the ability to impact customers and employees.
