Kevin Corbett

During his tenure, NJ Transit implemented the federally required Positive Train Control (PTC) safety system, with work completed in December 2020.

In February 2020 there were calls for his resignation citing the lack of improvement in service in his two year tenure.

In June 2020, Corbett revealed a 5-year Capital Plan with over $16 billion in capital spending and the agency's first 10-year Strategic Plan.

NJ Transit had no 'capital plan' when Corbett took over. He contracted one, expected in December 2019.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has called NJT a "national disgrace". In January 2018, Murphy asked for resignation letters from approximately 20 senior staff members, and signed an executive order calling for a complete audit. Corbett was appointed by Murphy in January 2018. He will replace Steven Santoro, who announced he will resign in April 2018. At his introduction, Corbett said there is "untapped value" in the agency.

Corbett married Siobhan Alden, a physician, in 1991. He and his wife reside in Mendham; both use NJ Transit regularly. The couple own a private home and a 5-acre farm in the town.
