NJ TRANSIT continues to expand access to COVID-19 testing for all employees, regardless of symptom status. In concert with Agile Urgent Care and Accurate Diagnostics, NJ TRANSIT has opened another COVID-19 testing site in central Jersey.

As with the American Dream and Rowan University testing sites, you must first register to be tested at njt.agileurgentcare.com

The new appointment-only site opened today, May 15^th, at Fairfield Inn & Suites at 315 Davidson Avenue in Somerset, New Jersey. This site will be available to NJ TRANSIT employees on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Online registration to schedule your telemedicine appointment is available now.

It’s my understanding the schedule will not be changed and assignments will be re-advertised as they currently are.  I asked if the assignments are going to change and I was told no, maybe minor changes here or there.  The Carrier has no idea when we will go back to full service, but will follow our agreement.  Let’s stay diligent with our work practice.

Dear Rail Agreement Employee:

Open Enrollment begins May 11, 2020 and ends on May 29, 2020. This is your opportunity to review your current benefit elections, enroll and/or make changes. Elections are effective July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021, unless you have a change in status or experience a qualifying life event – such as marriage, divorce, or birth or adoption of a child.  Remember – If you experience a qualifying event, you must contact the Employee Benefits Department within 31 calendar days of the date of the event to enroll a dependent or wait until the next open enrollment period. 

During open enrollment, you can do one or more of the following:

• Enroll (if not currently enrolled)

• Change Plans
• Waive Coverage

You must now make your Open Enrollment elections from any internet-connected computer or device!

All you need is your NJ Transit Email Address and Network/ID Password. Visit https://openenrollment.njtransit.com

My Fellow NJ TRANSIT Employees,

                As you are aware, NJ TRANSIT has partnered with Agile Urgent Care and Accurate Diagnostics Lab to implement a COVID-19 testing program for all NJ TRANSIT employees.  After registering at https://njt.agileurgentcare.com employees will be required to schedule a ‘telemedicine’ conference call per the attached Notice.  As part of that scheduled call, employees can then schedule a date and time to get tested at the American Dream complex, Lot 26 in Rutherford, NJ.

                Please be aware that employees should only proceed to the American Dream complex at the appointment date/time that they scheduled during the ‘telemedicine’ conference.

                Please do not go to the testing site until you’ve had your telemedicine appointment and received a text or e-mail message confirming your testing appointment date/time.

Stay safe,

John Geitner, CHMM
