4. The Hoboken train crash and the TTF. In late September, tragedy struck when a commuter train crashed at the Hoboken terminal, killed one person and injured over 100 more. That crash led to an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board that is currently still underway. The crash also led to a joint investigation by NJ Transit and New Jersey lawmakers as well as an increased interest in finding a solution to transit issues plaguing the state. The crash is believed to be one of the primary reasons a deal was made on the Transportation Trust Fund and the gas tax was raised.
