A slate of pop-music legends, Broadway A-listers and national touring musicals are just part of the 2018-19 season at the Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown.

NJ Transit’s executive director is being paid $19,000 more than his predecessor, reflecting his difficult task of turning around the troubled agency and bringing him more in line with his peers in the region, according to publicly available state salary data. Kevin Corbett, who was appointed to the job in February by Gov. Phil Murphy, has a salary of $280,000 a year. His predecessor, Steven Santoro, was paid $261,000 a year. The agency confirmed that Corbett is the highest-paid executive at NJ Transit. Corbett’s salary is slightly higher than that of his counterpart at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Rick Cotton makes $275,000 a year as executive director of the bi-state agency, according to its salary database. Corbett makes significantly more than the state transportation commissioner, Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti, whose salary is $141,000. He even makes more than Murphy, whose annual salary is $175,000. Corbett came to NJ Transit from AECOM, a global infrastructure services firm. “Strong leadership is a critical component to rebuilding the agency and making sure that commuters feel confident in the transportation they take to and from work every day,” said Dan Bryan, a Murphy spokesman. “Kevin Corbett has a vast wealth of transportation and infrastructure knowledge that the agency desperately needs.” Bryan wouldn’t say whether the higher salary was offered to Corbett so he would accept the job. Low salaries were frequently cited as a reason why See NJ TRANSIT, Page 2B
