CUOMO CHRIS ChRISTIE Governor, State of New York Governor, State of New Jersey L ETTER OF TRANSMITTAL TO THE GOVERNORS 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 2013 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The following pages highlight the agency’s accomplishments in pursuing its mission of providing critical transportation, terminal and other facilities of commerce and economic development in the Port District, supporting the nation’s largest regional economy. In early 2014, as the culmination of significant planning efforts undertaken during 2013, the Board of Commissioners approved a $27.6 Billion 10-year Capital Plan representing a return to this agency’s core mission with a plan to invest billions of dollars in our facilities. In formulating this capital plan, under the Board of Commissioners’ direction, agency staff conducted a new comprehensive, analytical scoring process to identify and evaluate “State of Good Repair” projects. As a result, the agency has dedicated nearly $13 billion to critical State of Good Repair projects that will modernize and enhance the viability of the Port Authority’s existing assets while lessening maintenance costs in the long term. Most importantly, we instituted a series of checks and balances to ensure that the capital plan is carried out in a disciplined, fiscally responsible manner. Each project will undergo a rigorous process as to its scope, design, and costs, as well as a thorough risk analysis before moving forward into construction. The ten-year plan will serve as a living document that will be continually reviewed and updated to reflect the changing needs of the region and the agency’s financial capacity. The importance of The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to the region cannot be overstated. With this in mind, the Board of Commissioners created a Special Oversight Committee earlier this year to enhance the Board of Commissioners’ oversight of the governance and operations of the agency and its performance of its statutory and mission responsibilities. In conjunction with the ongoing work of the Special Panel on the Future of the Port Authority, which you formed earlier this year, the Special Oversight Committee will examine a broad range of issues and make recommendations that will enable the agency to meet its responsibilities in and effective, open and transparent manner in the future.

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).

  • 3.5: Freight Movement
    3.5 Freight Movement 3.5 Freight Movement A. INTRODUCTION This section describes the characteristics of the existing rail freight services and railroad operators in the project area. Also addressed is the relationship between those services and Build Alternative long-term operations. The study area contains several rail freight lines and yards that play key roles in the movement of goods to and from the Port of New York and New Jersey, the largest port on the east coast, as well as in the movement of goods vital to businesses and residents in multiple states. However, no long-term freight movement impacts are anticipated with the Build Alternative, and no mitigation measures will be required. B. SERVICE TYPES The following freight rail services are offered in the project area: • Containerized or “inter-modal” consists primarily of containers or Example of Doublestack Train with Maritime truck trailers moved on rail cars. Containers Intermodal rail traffic is considered the fastest growing rail freight market, and is anticipated to grow in the region between 3.9 and 5.6 percent annually through 2030, based on the NJTPA Freight System Performance Study (see Table 3.5-1). • Carload traffic consists of products that are typically moved in boxcars, hopper cars, tank cars, and special lumber cars over a long distance by rail, and then either transported directly by rail or Example of Carload Rail Traffic shifted to truck for delivery to more local customers. The characteristics of these commodities (e.g., bulk, heavy or over- dimensional) make rail the preferred option for long-distance movement.
