Here where operations stand as of 8:15 a.m. ET:

The Princeton Dinky is suspended because of overhead wire issues. Trains are currently subject to 20-minute delays into and out of New York Penn Station because of signal issues at the Portal Bridge.
Bus, light rail, and Access Link will operate on regular schedules, although the River Line is suspended between the Walter Rand Transportation Center and Waterfront Entertainment Center because of weather-related issues.
Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority: The Chestnut Hill West, Cynwyd, and Fox Chase Regional Rail lines remain suspended; others are operating. Metro rail service is operating with delays or modifications. Two bus routes (41 and 71) remain suspended because of street conditions.
