Galette v. New Jersey Transit Corp. · ¶10

In search of a new solution, the Legislature in 1979 created the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJ Transit). See N. J. Public Transportation Act of 1979, N. J. Stat. § 27:25–1 et seq. (2026). The State structured the entity as a “body corporate and politic with corporate succession.” § 27:25–4(a). The “corporation” was “constituted as an instrumentality of the State exercising public and essential governmental functions.” Ibid. It was “allocated within the Department of Transportation,” but “the corporation” was “independent of any supervision or control by the department or by any body or officer thereof.” Ibid.
