新泽西交通局批准 6560 万美元改造哈德逊-卑尔根轻轨：属五年 2.5 亿美元计划首笔，系统全长 20.6 英里日载客 48000 人
美国新泽西交通局董事会已批准 6560 万美元，用于哈德逊-卑尔根轻轨系统的资本改造。该机构 11 月 13 日公布的安排显示，这是未来五年计划投入 2.5 亿美元改善该系统的第一笔拨款。
资金将用于三座车站的电梯现代化，即第 8 街站、第 9 街站与卑尔根线大道站，并覆盖轻轨车辆大修、通行路权改善、隧道升级与乘客安全设施提升。
哈德逊-卑尔根轻轨全长 20.6 英里，沿哈德逊县滨水区设有 24 座车站，日载客 48000 人。新泽西交通局总裁兼首席执行官克里斯·科卢里（Kris Kolluri）表示，该局计划在未来五年投入 2.5 亿美元，提升全系统的可靠性。
这笔 6560 万美元的资本授权与该局现有的另一份合同分开计算。哈德逊-卑尔根轻轨的日常运营与维护自 2025 年起由 ACI-Herzog 合资公司承担，合同期 15 年、总额 16 亿美元。
改造的预期资金来源包括联邦交通管理局、新泽西交通信托基金与新泽西交通局轻轨运营预算。该局表示，这批投资的目标是改善这条滨水轻轨线路的可靠性与乘客体验。
NJ Transit Authorizes $65.6 Million for Hudson-Bergen Light Rail: First Allocation of Planned $250 Million Over Five Years on 20.6-Mile System Carrying 48,000 Daily Riders
NJ Transit's Board of Directors has authorized $65.6 million for capital improvements to the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail system. The authorization, reported on November 13, is the first allocation of a planned $250 million investment over the next five years.
The funding will support elevator modernization at the 8th Street, 9th Street and Bergenline Avenue stations, light rail vehicle overhauls, right-of-way improvements, tunnel upgrades and passenger safety enhancements.
The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail is a 20.6-mile system serving 48,000 daily riders at 24 stations along the Hudson County waterfront. NJ Transit President and CEO Kris Kolluri said the agency plans to invest $250 million over the next five years to improve reliability across the system.
The $65.6 million capital authorization is separate from NJ Transit's existing 15-year, $1.6 billion contract with the ACI-Herzog Joint Venture, which assumed responsibility for daily operations and maintenance of the line in 2025.
Anticipated funding sources for the improvements include the Federal Transit Administration, the New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund and the NJ Transit light rail operating budget. The agency said the investment is intended to improve reliability and the customer experience on the waterfront light rail line.
