The Newark Airport project, a $415 million project to link the airport's existing monorail to a new station a mile away that will meet NJ Transit and Amtrak trains. When the project opens in 2001, 7,000 passengers are expected to use the train-plane connection every day.

The first phase of the Hudson-Bergen light rail system is scheduled to begin operating in March 2000. The second phase, if funding is obtained in time, could be ready by the summer of 2001. The total 20.5-mile system will cost more than $1 billion. It is projected that the completed line will carry 100,000 passengers a day, making it the second-busiest light rail line in the country, behind Boston's century-old Green Line.
