The Safety Shoe Subsidy is Now $60!
NJ TRANSIT Rail employees who wear
safety shoes or boots to perform their duties or while on company property will be
eligible for a $60 subsidy towards the purchase of safety shoes or boots, provided
they use the company chosen vendor. The
current vendor, Saf-Gard Safety Shoe
Company, will provide safety shoes and
boots through mobile shoe trucks and a
retail store in Edison. All you have to do is
show your NJ TRANSIT picture ID to purchase your shoes.
■Transportation (T&E) employees are required to have black slip resistant shoes
and boots with a definite heel that they can
purchase individually or through the program.
■Ticket Agent/TVM Agents in the Transportation (Stations) Department can also
purchase the same shoes as T&E employees.
■As a reminder, all Engineering employees working
on bridges are required by FRA regulation to wear
safety (steel or composite) toe boots when working
on bridges.
The Rail Safety Department has accommodated your suggestions by adding
new styles. We have
also discontinued
those that were not
popular and added
new styles and
smaller sizes for
women.
REMEMBER! The
NJ TRANSIT subsidy is $60 with the remainder paid
by the individual by cash, credit card or payroll deduction.
■ NOTE: If you also purchase winter boot style
LC367215, you will be eligible for a separate $60
subsidy off the cost of this particular boot.

■Engineering and Mechanical Department
employees are required to wear slip resistant boots, with a definite heel, and a
minimum 6 inch ankle height. A safety toe
(steel or composite) is provided if you purchase your boots from the shoe truck. The
subsidy helps defray the cost of the safety
toe-boots.
