## Resource

NJ Transit just tapped Dan Rogust as its new senior vice president of rail operations — a major leadership shift for the nation’s largest statewide transit agency. Taking over from retiring veteran Jim Sincaglia, Rogust brings deep inside knowledge, having recently returned from a stint as deputy general manager and previously served at Siemens Mobility and as a locomotive superintendent. With NJ Transit facing rising train cancellations due to aging fleets and a massive $374-train modernization rollout set to begin in 2031, Rogust’s promotion signals a strategic push to rebuild reliability — and the agency’s CEO emphasized that promoting from within ensures leaders who truly understand the system can drive this critical transformation forward.
