Was someone reading this board? Barchi op-ed says:
Legislation is quickly heading to Gov. Phil Murphy's desk that would dedicate $10 million to NJ Transit for initial planning for a light rail that would connect East Brunswick, New Brunswick, Piscataway and South Plainfield. This marks an important transportation investment in central New Jersey that will benefit the region for decades to come.
Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin, D-Middlesex, played an important role in including funding for the light-rail study. That shows a new and commendable commitment from leaders in Trenton to serious and consistent investments in mass transit that for too long have been lacking. Senate President Steve Sweeney, D-Gloucester, who sponsored one of the bills naming Transportation Trust Fund priorities, has been equally engaged in expanding light rail from Rutgers-Camden to Glassboro.

This would be a game changer but I've never seen anyone in a position of power discuss it.
I know this board could probably come up with some nice suggestions.
