The company that built and operated NJ Transit's first light rail line for almost 30 years was ousted when the agency's board awarded a $1.5 billion contract to a Boston based contractor.

The company that designed, built, maintained and operated NJ Transit’s first light rail system for 28 years won’t run it any more.

The board awarded a $1.56 billion, 15-year contract to ACI-Herzog Joint Venture of Boston, Massachusetts, to operate and maintain the light rail line in Hudson County that is owned by NJ Transit and operated under contract that expires in 2025. The contract for what will be the second operator in Hudson-Bergen light rail‘s history will “focus on maintaining the high standard of service Hudson-Bergen Light rail customers continue to expect,” said Kevin Corbett, NJ Transit CEO at the meeting.

That capital work is defined in a Capital Plan, which describes work that falls within a Capital Asset Replacement Program and Capital Improvement Projects on the system.
