Dow Jones Description

In 1980, NJ TRANSIT purchased Transport of New Jersey, the State's largest private bus company at that time. Between 1981-85, the services of several other bus companies were incorporated into NJ TRANSIT Bus Operations, Inc. On January 1, 1983, a second subsidiary, NJ TRANSIT Rail Operations, Inc. was launched to assume operations of commuter rail in the State after Congress ordered Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail) to cease its passenger operations. A third subsidiary, NJ TRANSIT Mercer, Inc., was established in 1984 when the agency assumed operation of bus service in the Trenton/Mercer County area. In 1992, following a full reorganization, all three subsidiaries were unified and operations were significantly streamlined. As stakeholders in NJ TRANSIT, State residents are represented by a seven member Board of Directors, appointed by the Governor. Four members are from the general public and three are State officials. The agency is structured to encourage broad public participation in the formation of transit policy for the State. NJ TRANSIT's board meets monthly at NJ TRANSIT headquarters in Newark. The Governor can override board actions by vetoing the board meeting's minutes. NJ TRANSIT Corporation's Board selects an Executive Director to administer the entire agency. The Executive Director serves as President of all three subsidiaries (NJ TRANSIT Bus Operations, NJ TRANSIT Rail Operations, Inc. and NJ TRANSIT Mercer, Inc.). ...

Jim began flying in 1980, while studying Physics at Rutgers University. He earned his instrument rating in 2003. His favorite flights are over the Delaware Water Gap, up the Hudson at night, and into Baltimore-Washington International. He can be overheard explaining how "Flying is absolutely the single most fun thing you will ever do" and "The only thing better than learning to fly is learning to fly a little better" in our ground school most every Sunday afternoon. During the week Jim works as a system engineer and project manager for NJ TRANSIT. Jim is married, with a 12 year old son who's very much looking forward to flying on his 13th birthday. Jim is something of a nut for most every form of transportation he flies at Best in Flight, engineers facilities for trains and buses at NJ TRANSIT, and has even conned ships for the US NAVY. He also loves to teach. In addition to creating the ground school curriculum for Best in Flight, in 2006 he helped pilot an aviation and rocketry unit for the 5th grade science classes at his local public school; he still gets called back to kick off the unit as a guest speaker each year. His hobbies include aviation, system engineering and classical music.
