Long Branch Train Station Project To Move Through House

LONG BRANCH, NJ – Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06) announced last week that the Long Branch “transit village” projects he requested would advance in the House of Representatives.

The $13 million project in Long Branch will see the current NJ Transit station turned intermodal by bringing buses, trollies, taxis, and ride-sharing services into the station property with an indoor waiting room.

The project will also include building a new pedestrian bridge west of the station platform to reconnect the business and residential community on the west side of the tracks.

“The Long Branch intermodal station will give NJ Transit the resources it needs to increase interoperability between different modes of transportation that will greatly enhance commuter safety and accessibility for Long Branch residents and tourists,” Long Branch Mayor John Pallone said in a press release.

“Members of Congress know our districts better than anyone else and can ensure that federal dollars actually reach the areas that need them,” Congressman Pallone said in a press release.
