  • Proposed Bridge Toll and PATCO Fare Schedules
    Proposed Bridge Toll and PATCO Fare Schedules July 2008 Dear DRPA and PATCO Customers: Thank you for your interest in the Delaware River Port Authority and Port Authority Transit Corporation. We appreciate the opportunity to present to you the proposed changes to the toll and fare structures. For the last several years, we have committed to cost-savings measures that have enabled us to operate without changes to our toll or fare structures. However, we now face a very challenging time as our future needs will require us to find additional revenue sources to fund our Capital Program which is critical to maintaining the safety, security and serviceability of our assets. We are confident that with the feedback received from you, our customers, we will be able to propose a plan to our Board of Commissioners that will enable us to face the challenges that lie ahead. We value your opinion and look forward to your comments and suggestions. Yours truly, John J. Matheussen Chief Executive Officer, Delaware River Port Authority President, Port Authority Transit Corporation The Delaware River Port Authority The Delaware River Port Authority of Pennsylvania and New Jersey is a regional transportation agency. DRPA’s lines of business, collectively called “the Authority,” operate under the motto “We Keep the Region Moving.” DRPA traces its roots back to 1919 when leaders from the two states began planning for a bridge across the Delaware River. That bridge, now known as the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, was once the longest suspension bridge in the world. Today, more than 80 years after its opening, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge remains a key transportation artery and a regional landmark.
