I think this the easiest thing to do in the near term but it would still require a fair bit of effort is really improving the Newark bus network. NJ Transit put out a redesign proposal which I felt was pretty good but that seems to just be dead in the water. Improving headways, implementing bus lanes, installing more bus shelters, making the system more friendly to new users. Other things that come to mind include refreshing existing light rail stations, ADA improvements to stations that are not compliant, installation of countdown clocks, turning light rail stations into mobility centers by better incorporating transfers to bus service and bike and scooter share programs. Beyond that, making a serious effort to create proper bus rapid transit lines on select corridors and expansions of the Newark Light Rail.
