The session will be held 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Buzz Aldrin Middle School, 173 Bellevue Ave. Members of the public will have the chance to speak directly to NJ Transit management.

The agency announced service changes on weekdays between Monday, June 17 and Friday, Sept. 6. NJ Transit will be temporarily diverting select Midtown Direct rail service on the Montclair-Boonton Line and one North Jersey Coast Line train to Hoboken, in order to accommodate vital Amtrak repair work that will take two tracks at Penn Station out of service.
