State Department of Transportation Cimmissioner Kris Kolluri Thursday said that of the $16 billion spent on the state's infrastructure in the next decade, nearly half will go toward mass transit. That enhanced transportation infrastructure, if built along the Route 1 corridor spanning Mercer and Middlesex counties, he added, will play a crucial role in county and local economic development.

I've been driving for Princeton Windrows off and on for about two years now, full-time and part-time, dropping residents all over Princeton and the local vicinity, at the Princeton Public Library, Quakerbridge Mall, lectures and talks at the University, and area doctors' offices. I started out part time and then was laid off for six months and then called back. Now I work five hours a day five days a week. As well as local stops, we go up to Philadelphia or New York. Then the bus is full. I have a CDL for the bus, which holds 25 passengers including the driver. I drive a bus and a car.
