house 02/21/2025 - 119th Congress
We're proposing the "One Seat Ride Act" to mandate a study by the Secretary of Transportation to explore the feasibility and benefits of eliminating transfers in commuter rail systems, starting with New Jersey's Raritan Valley line. Our goal is to assess how streamlining travel can enhance economic, logistical, and quality of life aspects for passengers.

A study is nice, but let’s see some action on those single-seat trains once the data’s in.

Do we really need another bureaucratic study to tell us train rides involve transfers?

Less talk, more tracks! We need investments in commuter rail, not just endless studies.

It’s crucial to see if we can make commuting easier without burning through taxpayers' money.

How about a study on how to pay for that single-seat luxury without raising taxes?

Let's not just study the problem—let's get the trains running without transfers already!

More connectivity means less carbon—it's time to put the 'green' in greenlight for single-seat rides.
