"We in New Jersey understand the evil and the impact of terrorism," Codey said. "And we have always stayed ahead of this threat by remaining as vigilant and resourceful as possible.
"In light of the recent attacks in London, it is necessary to bring a new level of vigilance to our mass transit system," Codey said. "Our goal is to make this as reasonable as possible for travelers. We are confident our travelers understand that a small amount of inconvenience is necessary to keep our transit system as safe and secure as possible."
Codey stressed that inspections will be random. Racial or ethnic profiling will not be allowed or tolerated.
New Jersey and its mass transit system remain at increased alert, as has been the case since July 7. Heightened patrols continue throughout the mass transit system, and New Jersey continues to work with New York State to coordinate the states' efforts.
There is currently no specific threat information about possible attacks in New Jersey or the United States. Codey urged New Jersey's residents to remain cautious, but to continue their daily lives.
Anyone who sees something suspicious is urged to call NJ TRANSIT's tip line 1-888-TIPS-NJT, or New Jersey's domestic security tip line, 1-886-4-SAFE-NJ.
