To designate Newark Penn Station in Newark, New Jersey as the "Donald M. Payne, Jr. Transit Center at Newark Penn Station".
This bill (HR 6803) is a commemorative resolution that renames Newark Penn Station in Newark, New Jersey, as the "Donald M. Payne, Jr. Transit Center at Newark Penn Station." It does not create new policies or affect funding; it solely changes the official name of the transit station and all federal references to it. The designation honors Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr., who represented New Jersey's 10th District and advocated for transit infrastructure during his service. The bill has no direct impact on transportation operations, riders, or policy - it is purely a ceremonial renaming.
