00:00:00.500 --> 00:00:03.880
<v 0>And I know that we're all equally proud that for the past four years,</v>

2
00:00:04.650 --> 00:00:09.520
we've moved forward in this mission without making commuters shoulder any fair

3
00:00:09.650 --> 00:00:11.720
hikes. Well,

4
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:15.720
let's just go ahead right now and make that five years in a row.

5
00:00:16.420 --> 00:00:20.440
I'm proud to tell the more than 1400 daily NJ,

6
00:00:20.590 --> 00:00:22.510
a transit rail rider here in Glenridge,

7
00:00:23.090 --> 00:00:27.430
in the hundreds of thousands of daily rail bus, light rail,

8
00:00:27.530 --> 00:00:29.830
and access link riders across New Jersey,

9
00:00:30.340 --> 00:00:34.390
that they will not see a fair hike again in 2022.

10
00:00:34.850 --> 00:00:39.390
And at least through the first half of 2023 that's five years at a row

11
00:00:39.700 --> 00:00:44.460
holding the line on fares is part of the stronger farer and more affordable

12
00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:48.500
New Jersey. We're all building today. Additionally,

13
00:00:48.980 --> 00:00:52.260
I am proud to announce that the state budget I will present one week from

14
00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:57.420
tomorrow will also support the installation of wifi connectivity

15
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.260
on all NJ transit buses.

16
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:05.290
So not only are we keeping your bus ride affordable and keeping it

17
00:01:05.430 --> 00:01:08.490
on time and dependable, but we're also making it more productive.
