ATTENTION EMPLOYEES
NJ TRANSIT has finalized the process by which employees who are not yet fully vaccinated will be tested for the virus that causes COVID-19.
Working with our partner VAULT, COVID testing kits will be mailed to the home addresses of all employees who have not provided proof of being fully vaccinated. These testing kits will be free of charge to employees.
Employees will initially receive two kits for their first two weeks of testing. Following instructions in the kit, employees will self-administer one test per week and return the sample to any UPS drop box. Additional kits will be sent in the coming weeks. More information can be found in the attached “Testing FAQ” document.
Any employee who receives a test kit to their home but is fully vaccinated must submit proof of vaccination as outlined below, and return the test kits to their work location.
Note: Employees who have not submitted proof of vaccination and also do not comply with the testing process will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Further, vaccinated employees are not permitted to choose to undergo weekly testing in lieu of submitting their proof of vaccination. This, too, may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination. If you are fully vaccinated, you must submit your vaccination proof.
For those employees who are fully vaccinated but have not yet submitted proof, please do so by:
- Sending an email, from your @NJTRANSIT address, to COVIDVAXProof@njtransit.com
- Attach a copy of your vaccination proof to your email (CDC card, screenshot from the Docket app, NJIIS vaccination record, etc.)
- Please include only your name and employee ID number in the subject line of your email.
This mailbox is automated. Medical Services will not be responding to any email sent to this mailbox. For any COVID-19-related question, please call our hotline at 1-888-890-0729.
Email COVIDSAFETY@NJTRANSIT.com for specific COVID-19 safety questions or concerns.
If you received your vaccination through any internal NJ TRANSIT clinic, you still must submit your proof using the protocol above.
Employees who are not yet vaccinated can make an appointment for a COVID-19 vaccination with NJT Medical Services or find a provider through NJ COVID-19 Vaccine Finder at https://covid19.nj.gov/
Thank you.
