NJ TRANSIT is celebrating historical contributions of notable African Americans by unveiling a locomotive adorned with specially themed graphics in honor of Black History Month. Two buses with similar graphics have also been wrapped and have been in service the past few weeks. The wraps are designed in collaboration with NJ TRANSIT’s Black and African American Company Employee Resource Group called B.R.I.D.G.E.S. and made possible through a sponsorship from Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey. The wraps aim to highlight and celebrate prominent African Americans and their contributions to American history and society.
“NJ TRANSIT is honored to collaborate with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey in commemorating Black history and acknowledging the many remarkable achievements of African Americans throughout our nation’s past,” said New Jersey Department of Transportation Acting Commissioner and NJ TRANSIT Board Chair Francis O’Connor. “These specially designed wraps symbolize our shared commitment to diversity, inclusion, and recognition of the invaluable contributions African Americans have made to our society.”
“NJ TRANSIT joined with the rest of the nation this past month in honoring the many historical contributions of notable African Americans in recognition of Black History Month,” said NJ TRANSIT President & CEO Kevin S. Corbett. “Through this sponsorship with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, we are able to reinforce our agency’s commitment to diversity and inclusion in every aspect of our service.”
