The Port Authority was founded to oversee critical infrastructure development between New York and New Jersey.
It plays a crucial role in overseeing key infrastructure between two of the most populous and connected states in the U.S.
It operates a vast network of assets, including major airports, bus terminals, rail facilities, and shipping ports.
It oversees some of the busiest transportation hubs in the world, including John F. Kennedy International Airport and Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal.
In addition to transportation, it plays a key role in regional planning and economic development, improving connectivity for businesses and commuters alike.
Major projects include the ongoing redevelopment of LaGuardia Airport, the modernization of the Port Authority Bus Terminal, and the expansion of the PATH rail network.
It has historically been at the forefront of innovations in large-scale infrastructure projects, setting new standards in efficiency and sustainability.
