NJ TRANSIT and Amtrak said the first track of the new Portal North Bridge would enter passenger service on March 16, 2026, replacing part of a 116-year-old swing bridge that had caused delays; the second track was still scheduled for fall 2026. The release included Gottheimer saying the bridge would mean faster, more reliable trains.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Concrete infrastructure upgrade reached partial service in 2026, improving reliability for NJ TRANSIT and Amtrak riders on the Northeast Corridor, but full bridge cutover and broader NJ TRANSIT fixes remained incomplete as of this evidence.

Congress.gov lists H.R.769, the All Aboard Act, sponsored by Rep. Josh Gottheimer and introduced January 28, 2025. Its latest action was referral to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials on January 29, 2025; the tracker shows it had not passed the House, Senate, or become law.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Gottheimer took concrete legislative action aimed at rail passenger refunds for Amtrak-caused cancellations or major delays, but the bill remained only introduced/referred, so it did not deliver a systemwide NJ TRANSIT fix or upgrade by the current assessment date.

The promised outcome was a broad federal-office pledge to fix and significantly upgrade NJ Transit. The record shows some meaningful progress but not full delivery: Gottheimer sponsored H.R.769, the All Aboard Act, in January 2025, but it remained introduced/referred and did not become law. Separately, the Portal North Bridge reached first-track passenger service in March 2026, a real NJ Transit/Amtrak reliability upgrade on the Northeast Corridor, with the second track still pending and broader NJ Transit fixes incomplete. Because there was a concrete infrastructure improvement during the same term and Gottheimer supported/advanced transit-related measures, but the systemwide promise was not fulfilled, partial credit is appropriate.
