Greater Mercer TMA covers areas in both the NJTPA and Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) regions, and Cross County Connection TMA serves the DVRPC and South Jersey Transportation Planning Organization (SJTPO). The other six TMA service areas are within the NJTPA region. All thirteen counties in the NJTPA region are served by a TMA. The NJTPA oversees the management and administration of the State of New Jersey’s federally funded TMA program. The NJTPA guides the development of annual work programs and coordinates activities among the TMAs, the subregions (city and county members of the NJTPA), NJ TRANSIT, NJDOT and other partners in regional mobility. To ensure overall statewide consistency, the NJTPA, in coordination with DVRPC, also administers the Greater Mercer TMA program, which covers Ocean County and Mercer County, and Cross County Connection TMA, which covers Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, Atlantic, Salem, Cumberland and Cape May Counties. Federal Surface Transportation Program (STP-NJ) funds are currently used to fund the TMA Program. More information about eligible activities under the STP-NJ can be found in the Title 23, U.S.C.—Highways, Subchapter 1.1, Section 133 at http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/legsregs/title23.pdf (page 73). All recommendations for new work program efforts by the TMAs must be reviewed and approved by the NJTPA, NJDOT and FHWA before any work can begin. The following is provided to guide applicants seeking funding under this program. All work and expenditures associated with the program must adhere to applicable federal and state circulars, and must be in keeping with the guiding principles and requirements of the program, including the NJTPA Regional Transportation Plan, the FHWA grant program provisions (23 CFR – Highways, 49 CFR – Transportation and 2 CFR Chapter I, Chapter II, Part 200, et al. - Uniform Administration Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards), and the NJDOT’s Basic Agreement and Task Order with NJIT and NJTPA (Prime Contract). March, 2017 1 Goals and Objectives of the Program The purpose of the TMA work program is to support and advance broad federal and regional transportation goals. This guidance is outlined below. Federal Guidance: Fixing American’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) is the overarching federal transportation guidance that addresses the many challenges facing our transportation system today, and builds on the program structure of the previous transportation act, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21). The FAST Act has targeted investments to improve safety, encourage equity, foster public-private partnerships, reduce traffic congestion, improve efficiency in freight movement, increase intermodal connectivity, and protect the environment. The FAST Act promotes efficient and effective federal surface transportation programs by focusing on transportation issues of national significance, while giving State and local transportation agencies flexibility for solving transportation problems in their communities. The NJTPA is also guided by federal emphasis areas, which the TMA work programs support. The three broad emphasis areas for FY 2018 are a transition to performance based planning; Models of Regional Planning Cooperation, which emphasizes coordination across MPO borders; and Ladders of Opportunity, which emphasizes increased access to essential services for all residents, particularly traditionally underserved communities. In addition, the FACT Act added Resiliency and Travel/Tourism as two additional focus areas. TMA work programs should be modified to respond to the FY 2018 emphasis areas as appropriate. Ladders of Opportunity: The Federal Highway Administration emphasizes the importance of providing access to essential services as an important part of the transportation planning process. Essential services include housing, employment, health care, schools/education, and recreation. This emphasis may include MPO and State identification of performance measures and analytical methods to measure the transportation system's connectivity to essential services and the use of this information to identify gaps in transportation system connectivity that preclude public access, including traditionally underserved populations, to essential services. It could also involve identifying solutions to address those gaps. The TMAs make important contributions towards Ladders of Opportunity through their ongoing activities and through their participation in the NJTPA Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan Update. TMAs should continue to participate in the update of this plan and integrate its implementation into their work activities. This may be accomplished by engaging in activities that improve access to jobs, training, and to transit service for underserved populations. TMAs may offer direct assistance or may create active partnerships with existing organizations in the fulfillment of this initiative, may participate in the implementation of regional and local Human Services Transportation Plans for their respective MPOs and counties, or through other activities. March, 2017 2 Models of Regional Planning Coordination: The TMAs support Models of Regional Planning Cooperation through activities in their individual work programs. The TMAs are required to coordinate with NJDOT and NJ TRANSIT and others to enhance coordination and implement effective planning across the entire State. The TMAs are required to perform work to mitigate construction related congestion through the use of social media and other digital platforms as well a requirement to participate in local and regional efforts to improve human services transportation. The program also encourages the TMAs to participate in the statewide Street Smart New Jersey pedestrian safety campaign, as well as activities related to the Regional Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy, Together North Jersey, and North Jersey Partners. The TMAs have been instrumental in the development and implementation of the program and have conducted numerous campaigns with municipalities across the State. Performance Based Planning: The TMAs provide various metrics on activities related to their respective work programs on a quarterly basis. These include reports on the total number of carpools and vanpools, number of commuters provided with transit and trip planning assistance, participation in mass transit incentives, as well as the number of people contacted through various outreach activities. The TMAs should continue to work the NJTPA to refine these reports for the purposes of evaluating the effectiveness of their work programs. The TMAs should also continue to participate in any relevant rulemaking discussions with the NJTPA as FHWA continues to develop performance measures. State Policy Guidance: The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) actively supports and encourages the development and implementation of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs and projects to mitigate traffic congestion, improve mobility and accessibility, improve air quality, and

Boys in blue W North Brunswick's Frank Locke, 51, is a 20 junior police graduate roofer by trade and a beekeeper by hobby. He stum- in North Brunswick bled upon honey harvesting by accident six years ago. Page 3 "A friend of mine had purchased some land not too long ago, and bees were abandoned on the prop- erty [by the previous owner]. I snooped around one day. I was always interested in bees, so this gave me a chance to go further. Online I read about beekeep- ing and how to start, and I found out all of the infor- mation I needed," he said. Locke contacted the apiary inspector of the state Department of Agriculture to find out how to use his knowledge. "He asked questions about the bees I found, and he said he was looking for those bees and wanted to inspect them. After the inspection, we made a deal to trade knowledge for labor, and it's worked to this day," he said. Locke purchased equipment and the bees from the inspector. He bought 12 colonies, each contain- ing 5,000 Italian bees, which has now expanded to 75 colonies with about 40,000-60,000 bees each.

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.

  • Of the New Jersey Maritime Pi- Lot and Docking Pilot Commission
    156th Annual Report Of The New Jersey Maritime Pi- lot and Docking Pilot Commission Dear Governor and Members of the New Jersey Legislature, In 1789, the First Congress of the United States delegated to the states the authority to regulate pilotage of vessels operating on their respective navigable waters. In 1837, New Jersey enacted legislation establishing the Board of Commissioners of Pilotage of the State of New Jersey. Since its creation the Commission has had the responsibility of licensing and regulating maritime pilots who direct the navigation of ships as they enter and depart the Port of New Jersey and New York. This oversight has contributed to the excellent reputation the ports of New Jersey and New York has and its pilots enjoy throughout the maritime world. New legislation that went into effect on September 1, 2004 enables the Commission to further contribute to the safety and security of the port by requiring the Commission to license docking pilots. These pilots specialize in the docking and undocking of vessels in the port. To reflect the expansion of its jurisdiction the Commission has been renamed “The New Jersey Maritime Pilot and Docking Pilot Commission.” In keeping with the needs of the times, the new legislation has a strong security component. All pilots licensed by the state will go through an on going security vetting. The Commission will issue badges and photo ID cards to all qualified pilots, which they must display when entering port facilities and boarding vessels. The legislation has also modernized and clarified the Commissions’ authority to issue regulations with respect to qualifications and training required for pilot licenses, pilot training (both initial and recurrent) accident investigation and drug and alcohol testing.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE by Vincent Buttiglieri, 2010 President As we leave behind the snow-filled winter we have all experienced, we anxiously look forward to a springtime filled with sunny skies and warmer weather. I know I‘ve certainly had enough snow to last a lifetime. I’m happy to report that our 2010 Education Conference was a tre- mendous success. My sincere thanks and appreciation go out to MCANJ Administrative Consultant Joel Popkin, Conference Co- Chairs Sharon Brienza and Heather Mailander, as well as Commit- tee members Joanne Kwasniewski, Drew Pavlica, Nancy Saffos, John Mitch, Joan Moreland, Bette Mastropasqua, Diane Pflugfelder, Ceil Covino, Barbara Nyitrai, Michele Seigfried, Lea Quinty, Do- reen Cali and Bernadette Standowski for their tireless work in this endeavor. A special "thank-you" goes out to the entire Fundraising Committee led by Kathy Wisniewski, Rose-Marie Saracino and Doreen Cali for the great job they did on the Silent Auction and Merchandise Sale. As anyone who has ever put together an event of this magnitude can tell you, the success of this conference is due to the many hours of hard work put in by the Committee. With MCANJ, we are even luckier since we have the most dedicated group of retirees assisting us in the many on-site aspects of the Conference. This group, led by Al Reda, and consisting of Barbara Camp, Terry Tighe, Joe Valenti, Tina Fiorellino, Joe Favaro and Angie Pileggi, is what makes MCANJ the very best Association.
