Rail, bus, and access service will run but with modifications.
New Jersey Transit trains rolled down the North Jersey Coast Line empty on Monday as locomotives and railcars were moved into position for the morning rush hour.
"The goal is to get this system back into some shape, so people can get back to work," NJ Transit President Kris Kolluri said.
Railroad president Kris Kolluri says extreme winter weather takes a toll on trains and the rails and the switches that keep them moving.
The Light Rail resumed at 4 pm. on Monday.
Bus service is expected to resume at 4 a.m. Tuesday with potentially localized detours.
Commuter rail resumes at 5 a.m. on a modified weekend schedule.
The North Jersey Coast and Raritan Valley Lines could remain suspended and the Northeast Corridor Line may have to skip local stops through Union County.
That depends on whether Amtrak completes overnight work on frozen switches.
The blizzard dumped huge amounts of snow across Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Trees brought down utility lines, tens of thousands lost power and side streets, in some places, remained snow-covered.
"For me, it was like you either got to get our power on or plow, because we don't want to sleep here tonight," Freehold resident Lynn Fachler said.
"We're blocked off, both ends of the street, because of the power lines," Stephen Ingram said.
Work crews from New Jersey Transit spent much of the night clearing parking lots, staircases and platforms for tomorrow's modified schedule. But returning to a normal schedule could take time.
"Can I tell you it's only been a few hours since the storm ended? So the fact that the fact that we have our system ready to go tomorrow morning is, itself, a Herculean task. So I'll take that for the moment," Kolluri said.
