From the president of NJT, Warrington (used to run Amtrak):
We received an unusual number of public comments, almost all of
them
regarding the proposed changes to the non-commercial
photography policy.
Your input was taken into careful consideration by senior
management.
In fact, I personally reviewed the public comments and concluded
that the
proposed rule changes are impractical. I have, therefore, directed
that
the proposed rule amendments be withdrawn. Like the majority of
transit
systems around the country, we will not require permits for non-
commercial
photography at this time.
Effective immediately, we will return to our historic practice, which
enables hobbyists and other non-commercial photographers to
take pictures
in public areas throughout the NJ TRANSIT system without
obtaining
permission or providing prior notice. There will also continue to be
no
restrictons on journalists in public areas of the system.
