In the event of a potential state government shutdown, NJ TRANSIT’s rail, bus and light rail services will not be impacted and will operate on their regular schedules. In addition, Access Link, NJTRANSIT’s paratransit service will maintain normal operations.

All NJ TRANSIT’s offices, terminals and stations will be open on their regular hours of operations to assist customers as they travel through the NJ TRANSIT system.

EEPS Code

Attached is the phone number we were given for employees to setup their company phone to be able to receive the E.E.P.S. code for Foul Time.

Please have this set up so that you aren’t using your personal phones during Flagging or any other duty requiring Foul Time.

The FRA will again be cracking down on personal electronic devices.

Your company phone(or NEXTEL) needs to be setup before it is able to receive the Code, it is not automatic.

On Track Protection

In light of a recent event we want to send a message about the importance of requesting and receiving on track protection or foul time whenever it is necessary to cross, occupy, or foul a main track.

Whether it will be a quick move or prolonged for inspection, repair, rescue, or passenger assist. Please call dispatcher and ask for protection as per NORAC rule 140, whenever you will be on a live track.

We do a dangerous job and becoming complacent can cost us and our coworkers our lives.
