• The first step to report any COVID-19-related information to Medical Services (i.e., positive test results, self-quarantine orders, return to work dates, etc.) is calling the NJ TRANSIT Coronavirus hotline at (888) 890-0729.
• This hotline is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Calling the hotline will significantly improve the timeliness of processing your information.
• Do not submit documentation without also calling the hotline number. Your documentation may not be processed if you do not call the hotline.
• Please remember to submit your documentation – via e-mail to Medical@njtransit.com – only ONCE. Your supervisor does not need to re-send any information you have previously submitted. Sending multiple copies delays processing.

• • Name
  • Employee ID Number
  • Contact Number and/or E-mail Address
  • Business Line: (Bus/Rail/Access Link/Light Rail/Corporate/Police)
  • Union or Non-Union

Large events and mass gatherings can contribute to the spread of COVID-19 in the United States via travelers who attend these events and introduce the virus to new communities. Examples of large events and mass gatherings include conferences, festivals, parades, concerts, sporting events, weddings, and other types of assemblies. These events can be planned not only by organizations and communities but also by individuals. Therefore, CDC, in accordance with its guidance for large events and mass gatherings,recommends that for the next 8 weeks, organizers (whether groups or individuals) cancel or postpone in-person events that consist of 50 people or more throughout the United States. Events of any size should only be continued if they can be carried out with adherence to guidelines for protecting vulnerable populations, hand hygiene, and social distancing. When feasible, organizers could modify events to be virtual. This recommendation does not apply to the day to day operation of organizations such as schools, institutes of higher learning, or businesses. This recommendation is made in an attempt to reduce introduction of the virus into new communities and to slow the spread of infection in communities already affected by the virus. This recommendation is not intended to supersede the advice of local public health officials.

Brothers and Sisters:  When a member is either quarantined by a medical physician, instructed to self-quarantine by a medical physician, sent home by NJ Transit supervision because a member displays symptoms of a illness that emulates the flu or Coronavirus,  or when a members is affected by their child or children’s school closure, please Mark Off in the following fashion.

Brothers and Sisters: The following is in response to my inquiry regarding members having to report to Medical Services when out of service medically.

“In anticipation of the increased social distancing recommendations, Medical Services has already implemented protocol changes whereby employees can do their 30 day follow-ups via telephone interview. This practice will remain in effect until the guidelines for social distancing are lifted, at which time the existing Medical Policy guidelines will be in effect.”
