Thomas P. DiNapoli 110 State Street State Comptroller Albany, New York 12236 STATE OF NEW YORK OFFICE OF THE STATE COMPTROLLER July 29, 2021 Kevin O’Toole Chairman Port Authority of New York and New Jersey 4 World Trade Center 150 Greenwich Street New York, NY 10007 Re: Selected Aspects of Accommodations for Passengers With Disabilities Report 2019-S-41 Dear Mr. O’Toole: Pursuant to the State Comptroller’s authority as set forth in Section 7071 of McKinney’s Unconsolidated Laws of New York, we have conducted an audit of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) to determine whether it has complied with selected requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and corresponding federal regulations to make its facilities accessible to passengers with disabilities. Our audit covered the period from June 24, 2019 to March 12, 2020. Background The PANYNJ was established in 1921 as an interstate public entity created to control the port district of New York and New Jersey, maintaining the trade and travel infrastructure of the area. PANYNJ’s portfolio of five airports, an interstate rail system, three bus terminals, and three cruise terminals serve the transportation needs of millions in the New York City metropolitan area. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Act or ADA) was signed into law to provide people with disabilities the right to access and participate in the same day-to-day activities as everyone else. The Act defines disability as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of an individual’s major life activities. -

Trip to Philadelphia and New York June 25 – 28 , 2003
Trip to Philadelphia and New York June 25th – 28th, 2003 By Saul Wilson With Assistance from Joyce Steeves Photos and Tourist Sections by W. Stephen Wilson Trip to Philadelphia and New York June 25th – 28th, 2003 Introduction th th From June 25 to 28 , 2003 my father and I took 36 trains belonging to seven different transit companies through five different states, as a Christmas and Birthday present. I developed about 15 different schedules in the planning stages, be- fore settling on this particular one, just about twenty-four hours before it happened. What started as a two-day train-only trip became five days, three of which were dedicated to trains. My dad then decided that at least three hours a day had to be devoted to sightsee- ing. Philadelphia - June 23rd We left Baltimore at 7:47a.m. on train 172 to Philadelphia. We had originally planned to switch trains at Wilmington to take the R6 Norristown commuter train to Philadelphia, but because I wanted to see different lines and the connection time was only four minutes, we changed the schedule. When we arrived in Philadelphia we explored 30th Street Station and bought day passes. We went on to the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) platforms, which are above Amtrak’s, and waited for the Norristown train. We were sched- uled to take the 9:36a.m. train, but there was a train thirty minutes earlier, so we A SEPTA R1 Airport train arriving in 30th Page 2 Street Station Philadelphia.

2. EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1 History of Circulation in Jersey City 2.2
Jersey City Master Plan / Circulation Element 2. EXISTING CONDITIONS As part of the background work in developing this Circulation Element, a detailed assessment of the history of circulation in Jersey City and an inventory of the baseline conditions of the City’s transportation system were prepared. 2.1 History of Circulation in Jersey City Photo Source: Jersey City Division of City Planning Strategically located on the Hudson River and with easy access to Upper New York Bay, the City of Jersey City was an important center for shipping and maritime activity during the peak of the industrial revolution of the early nineteenth century. This status was reinforced when the Morris Canal was completed at Jersey City in 1836, giving the City shared direct linkage with the Delaware River at Phillipsburg and with important inland points, such as Newark and Paterson. Jersey City continued to serve as a transit point between Upper New York Bay and inland points to the west, but as the industrial revolution progressed, new technologies enabled the development of newer, more efficient forms of transport than canals. Consequently, railroads followed and terminals were constructed along the Hudson River waterfront and other points in the City. One example is the historic Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal, which originally opened in 1864 and is located in what is now Liberty State Park. With terminals located on the Hudson River, it was not long before ideas about a rail linkage to New York City began to evolve. This led to the construction of what is now known as the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) train, which commenced operations in 1907 after many arduous years of tunneling under the Hudson River. -
