NJ TRANSIT took an important step in the next phase of its fleet modernization efforts as the agency’s Board of Directors authorized $917 million to overhaul its existing fleet of 429 Multilevel railcars.

The Multilevel I and II cars, which are approaching 20 years of service, are due for their recommended mid-life overhaul. Additionally, as NJ TRANSIT is currently in the process of procuring new third-generation Multilevel vehicles, the overhaul will ensure compatibility and interoperability with these new Multilevel III vehicles.
