Lirr Schedule Adjusts as Travel Ban Is Lifted and Transit Resumes Modified Service
The Lirr Schedule has been altered following the lifting of a statewide mandatory travel restriction and the resumption of modified rail operations after a major winter storm. The changes matter because hazardous conditions remain in parts of New Jersey even as NJ Transit and LIRR restart limited service.
Lirr Schedule Adjustments
Officials have moved to resume modified LIRR and NJ Transit operations after the storm, and the Lirr Schedule reflects that scaled-back restart. What makes this notable is that resumption of service is limited rather than full — a direct effect of the storm’s lingering impact on infrastructure and roadways. The resumption follows emergency measures enacted earlier in the event timeline.
New Jersey Office of Emergency Management
TRENTON, N. J. (WPVI) — The New Jersey Office of Emergency Management, operating under the Division of the New Jersey State Police, announced that the mandatory travel restriction that began at 9: 00 p. m. on Sunday, February 22, and was extended until 12: 00 noon Monday is now lifted. The agency emphasized that while the formal restriction has ended, hazardous conditions persist in some parts of the state and motorists should avoid unnecessary travel.
NJ Transit and LIRR Resume Modified Services
After the major winter storm, NJ Transit and LIRR have resumed modified services. The restart is explicitly described as "modified, " indicating adjusted timetables and likely limited frequency or route changes rather than a return to normal operations.

Roadways, Visibility and Crews
State officials warned that some roadways remain snow-covered and visibility is limited in some areas. Crews continue working to clear roads and restore safe travel, and drivers are urged to allow extra time for essential trips, reduce speed, and keep emergency supplies in their vehicles. Those operational cautions are intended to reduce secondary incidents and allow crews to complete clearing and treatment efforts without additional risk.

The causal chain is clear: a major winter storm prompted a mandatory travel restriction beginning at 9: 00 p. m. on Sunday, February 22, which was extended until 12: 00 noon Monday, and that emergency posture forced NJ Transit and LIRR into modified operations. With the restriction lifted, agencies are cautiously restoring service while emphasizing that hazardous conditions — snow-covered roadways and limited visibility — continue to affect safe mobility. Residents and commuters should expect adjusted timetables reflected in the Lirr Schedule and plan accordingly.
