10 years after Hurricane Sandy, resiliency a priority for NJ Transit

WNYC News | Oct 28, 2022

In Hurricane Sandy, NJ Transit took major damage that took trains out of commission for weeks or longer. It famously parked hundreds of trains a in floodplain ... and they flooded. But now, officials and advocates say, there's more of a focus on resiliency that anticipates climate change.

Still, according to some advocates, New Jersey has a long way to go – and needs to get people out of their cars, onto mass transit, if it's going to deal with climate change in the long term.
