MORRIS COUNTY — Senator Anthony M. Bucco announced that $1.6 million would be allocated toward improving access to transit facilities and public transportation throughout Morris County.
“I am extremely pleased that over $1.6 million is being invested in Morris County to help rebuild our transit infrastructure.
