Jersey Avenue station is the only station on the Northeast Corridor Line that does not have weekend service In April 2014 NJT approved a contract for a design for relocation and rebuilding the station platform to permit high-level boarding, along with pedestrian overpass, vertical circulation, improved parking, and bus connection areas, as well as improvements to 5 miles of the existing Delco freight line to make it a 130 kilometers per hour (80 miles per hour) main line track for passenger trains.

As of 2015, additional design and engineering work to reconfigure the station was funded, but no construction date had been scheduled.

The new station was started as an 18-month experiment done by the committee to provide people with access from the railroad to their cars in a new park and ride.

The new station, slated to open in October, was to be funded by grants from the state and federal governments, and was the inception for a new mass transit system.
