To our customers:
Adverse weather conditions, including heavy rain, are forecasted for this weekend and could impact subway service. We have already begun preparations to safeguard the system from flooding. This includes the cleaning of subway drains, checking all subway pumps and pre-positioning personnel and equipment at flood prone locations. We may also move trains from their storage yards and store them underground instead.
In the event that weather does impact subway service, we will notify the media and post updates on our website. Please listen to local radio reports and check our website Please check http://www.mta.info/ for current 'Service Alert' information. Click on the flashing service alert triangle.

Cross-honoring among all modes starting at 6 a.m. Saturday
Issued 5:00 p.m. Friday, September 5, 2008
NJ TRANSIT is preparing for Tropical Storm Hanna, which forecasters expect will bring heavy rain and high winds to New Jersey starting tomorrow morning.
NJ TRANSIT will make every effort to operate on a normal Saturday schedule during the storm. Additional NJ TRANSIT operations personnel will be stationed at key locations throughout the system to assist customers and respond to any weather-related disruptions caused by downed trees, flooding and overhead wire problems.
To give customers maximum travel flexibility, NJ TRANSIT will offer full, systemwide cross-honoring on Saturday, September 6, beginning at 6 a.m. Cross-honoring enables customers to use their NJ TRANSIT ticket or pass on any travel mode (bus, rail and light rail) for comparable trips. For example, a customer who normally commutes from Rutherford to New York via bus would have the option of taking the train using their bus pass.
As with any severe weather event, customers are strongly encouraged to check the Travel Alerts section of NJ TRANSIT's website, http://www.njtransit.com/ , prior to departing for up-to-the-minute travel advisories or listen to broadcast traffic reports. NJ TRANSIT's website also can be accessed from any web-enabled mobile device.
Customers are urged to allow extra travel time and take special care during severe weather.
