NJ Transit, Amtrak, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority , the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and other regional bus and ferry operators, launched #SoundTheHorn – a coordinated effort to simultaneously sound their vehicle horns at 3 p.m. Thursday, April 16 to honor heroic transportation and other essential workers across the country.
As a tribute to the essential workers on the front lines of this public health crisis, including transportation workers, all trains and buses running in service across the New York metropolitan area will give two one-second horn blasts in solidarity with partner agencies. Heroic transportation workers continue to provide critical service for heroic healthcare workers, first responders, childcare workers, grocery store employees and other heroes who are performing critically essential work during the COVID-19 pandemic
