All banks are closed July 4 for Independence Day, as it’s a federal holiday. In a similar vein, the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission is closed for the holiday. Road test sites, inspection stations and agencies are closed.
U.S. Postal Services offices are also closed July 4.
NJ Transit confirmed buses are to follow the weekend schedule, depending on the region, and rail is to have a modified schedule.
