OUT OF THE HIGHWAY STRAIT-JACKET

New Jersey has the oldest state transportation office in the United States. The department subsidizes 483 route miles of rail operations and 20 bus companies. The state owns the cars but no track although this may soon change as all the passenger carrying railways are bankrupt. The Department of Transportation is restricted by budget constraints but hopes to buy track and preserve essential freight and passenger traffic.
