CUOMO CHRIS CHRISTIE Governor, State of New York Governor, State of New Jersey Dear Governors: On behalf of the Board of Commissioners, I am pleased to present to you and to the legislatures of New York and New Jersey the 2014 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. This report highlights some of the agency’s signature accomplishments achieved during 2014 in pursuing its core mission of supporting the region through investments in critical transportation infrastructure, terminals, and at the largest port on the East Coast. The Board has begun to implement the recommendations of the Special Panel on the Future of the Port Authority, which you jointly appointed last year, to refocus the Port Authority on its core transportation mission and recommit the agency to the highest standards of ethics, accountability, and transparency. Even before the Special Panel’s recommendations were received, this Board acted in 2014 to increase transparency by restructuring our monthly meetings to encourage public comment on issues before the Board, minimizing the use of nonpublic executive sessions, and conducting roll-call votes on all Board actions. We also adopted a new Freedom of Information policy mandating the disclosure of any record that would be available from a public agency under the law of either New York or New Jersey, as well as establishing a two-tiered appeals process. We have also undertaken a comprehensive review and updating of the Port Authority’s Code of Conduct for employees, Commissioners, and contractors, to ensure that we are observing the most stringent ethical standards in our operations. Of course, even as we address these important issues of governance, the Board remains focused on our key strategic and operational priorities, including modernization of our region’s airports and port facilities, refurbishing and ultimately planning for replacing the obsolete Port Authority Bus Terminal, and ensuring that each part of our vital trans-Hudson transportation network, from the PATH system to our bridges and tunnels, operates as dependably and efficiently as possible. While much work remains to be done, I am proud to be associated with the hardworking men and women of this agency, and can assure you that we will spare no effort to earn the trust and confidence of the public in the days ahead.

Phasing the Recommendations – A Blueprint for the Near Future 27 Compiled Appendices Following 31 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Jersey City Local Bus Study was written in response to concerns that portions of the Jersey City local bus network were collapsing as private carriers cut back or eliminated service in its entirety. NJ TRANSIT, the City of Jersey City, the County of Hudson, and the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority funded the work effort. It was prepared by the Bus Service Planning staff at NJ TRANSIT with input from a Technical Advisory Committee composed of individuals representing the funding agencies. The focus of the study is on short-term improvements primarily in Jersey City that need to be implemented as resources such as operating funds and equipment become available. This report describes the existing bus service in Hudson County and presents short- term recommendations for changes and improvements to the local bus system, both in terms of general and systemic issues as well as specific route-by-route actions. More than three dozen action items were identified to improve existing bus operations. These items range from route-specific service adjustments to providing for more ticket and pass sales outlets either by vendors or the installation of ticket vending machines (TVMs).

    PBHFS – RFP 2018 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS PASSENGER FERRY OPERATOR For the PENINSULA AT BAYONNE HARBOR BAYONNE, NEW JERSEY JUNE 12, 2018 1 PBHFS – RFP 2018 I. INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INFORMATION WELCOME TO THE CITY OF BAYONNE AND THE PENINSULA AT BAYONNE HARBOR: Bayonne’s shipping port terminal on New York Bay, built in 1932 to create additional industrial space for the city, was taken over by the U.S. Navy during World War II and the U.S. Army in 1967. Ships carried goods from the terminal for every major U.S. military operation from World War II to the Persian Gulf and Haiti missions in the 1990s. At its peak, the Military Ocean Terminal at Bayonne (MOTBY) employed 3,000 civilian and armed services personnel – many of whom lived in the area – and handled more than 1 million tons of cargo each year. But with the end of the Cold War and the subsequent decreasing need for the deployment of U.S. forces, the federal government decided to close MOTBY down in 1995, despite strong opposition from state and local officials. Jobs were phased out over the next three years; the closure was complete in 1999. But the value of this former naval supply center was obvious to some. In 2002, MOTBY was officially renamed The Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor by the Bayonne Local Redevelopment Authority (BLRA) – the city’s redevelopment arm. Plans were unveiled to redevelop the 430-acre former ocean terminal into a mixed-use complex. The project began in 2002, environmental cleanup was completed, building were demolished and construction began.

  • Epilogue 1941—Present by BARBARA LA ROCCO
    Epilogue 1941—Present By BARBARA LA ROCCO ABOUT A WEEK before A Maritime History of New York was re- leased the United States entered the Second World War. Between Pearl Harbor and VJ-Day, more than three million troops and over 63 million tons of supplies and materials shipped overseas through the Port. The Port of New York, really eleven ports in one, boasted a devel- oped shoreline of over 650 miles comprising the waterfronts of five boroughs of New York City and seven cities on the New Jersey side. The Port included 600 individual ship anchorages, some 1,800 docks, piers, and wharves of every conceivable size which gave access to over a thousand warehouses, and a complex system of car floats, lighters, rail and bridge networks. Over 575 tugboats worked the Port waters. Port operations employed some 25,000 longshoremen and an additional 400,000 other workers.* Ships of every conceivable type were needed for troop transport and supply carriers. On June 6, 1941, the U.S. Coast Guard seized 84 vessels of foreign registry in American ports under the Ship Requisition Act. To meet the demand for ships large numbers of mass-produced freight- ers and transports, called Liberty ships were constructed by a civilian workforce using pre-fabricated parts and the relatively new technique of welding. The Liberty ship, adapted by New York naval architects Gibbs & Cox from an old British tramp ship, was the largest civilian- 262 EPILOGUE 1941 - PRESENT 263 made war ship. The assembly-line production methods were later used to build 400 Victory ships (VC2)—the Liberty ship’s successor.
