Transit & Planning

Transit is the beating heart of New Jersey, the lights of development follow our rail lines and highways up and down the state. We cannot continue to let our most critical assets of transit fall into disrepair and our limited green spaces fall to suburban sprawl. We must invest in fast, clean, affordable, and future ready transit to bring our state closer together at less cost.

Affordable Abundant Independent Clean Energy

Our energy system is stuck in the past. For too long, our government has ignored our aging energy grid, leaving us with decades-old power lines and dirty, expensive power plants. Now, we’re paying for their mistakes—power bills have risen by 20%, and are only expected to get higher. This is unacceptable. It’s time for politicians to modernize our grid and invest in the future of energy: renewables.
