We Secured Biggest PATH Service Increase in 25 Years
In response to our Better PATH campaign, the Port Authority has committed to the biggest service increase in years. Direct weekend service on the JSQ–33rd Street and Hoboken–WTC lines returns, alongside more frequent rush-hour trains and expanded late-night service.
To be clear, there are further service improvements coming in 2027, and our campaign is remaining present to ensure these improvements are set in stone. We thank every rider, official, and volunteer who helped make it happen, and we thank the Port Authority for responding to our concerns!
Better Light Rail is Gaining Momentum
Our Better Light Rail campaign is hitting the station platforms!
We canvassed alongside Mayor Jabbour in Hoboken at 9th Street Station on June 2nd
We're back out with Council President Ridley at Danforth Ave Station on June 9th

When riders, advocates, and elected officials work together, we get things done.

ASAP Action - 3 Ways to Help Create Complete Streets in Hudson County
The county is planning real safety improvements across Hudson. Both events and and public input are invited:
6/8 — Tonight, 6:00 - 7:30 — Paterson Plank Road. Weigh in on the safety improvement plan.
Project Info Here6/10 — Wednesday, 6:00 - 7:30 — JFK Boulevard. Two segments under review—share your input on both.
Segment 1 · Segment 2Open comment portal now — JFK Blvd East at Braddock Park. Modern roundabouts will calm traffic and shorten pedestrian crossings inside the park—a real win. But the plan lacks protected bike lanes, leaving cyclists at risk. Submit a comment urging planners to add them now, not later.
