Adjournment CEO REPORT Report of the Chief Executive Officer April 15, 2020 Board of Commissioners Delaware River Port Authority of Pennsylvania and New Jersey One Port Center 2 Riverside Drive Camden, New Jersey 08101-1949 To the Commissioners: The following is a summary of recent DRPA activities. The appropriate reports are attached. Emergency Powers Please be advised that I have approved under the By-Laws Article XII (c)(8) of my Emergency Powers the following: 1. On February 27, 2020, I authorized our Public Safety and Homeland Security Departments the recommended purchase of 40,000 grey Readimask face masks from Global Safety First, LLC in the amount of $4.50 each in order to accommodate their needs in order to protect our employees from COVID-19. As a result of our Board not meeting in March 2020, the following were authorized under the By-Laws Article XII (c)(8) of my Emergency Powers as time was of the essence: 2. In order to continue with parallel testing, we required EPI-USE to provide technical consulting services not possessed by staff. Previously, you had approved the purchase of the software which included some technical support for $75K. I approved an emergency sole source in the amount of $90K for consulting services and $9K for travel. 3. Toll Transportation and Processing Services (Brinks) which was approved at the 3/4/20 Audit Committee meeting was approved as time was of the essence and delaying would have been detrimental. 4. It was critical to move forward with Cubic to convert software to Windows 10. Microsoft was soon to stop supporting Windows 7 which our fare collection system runs on. This was approved by our O&M Committee Meeting on 3/3/20. Delaying even one month would be a huge setback and would have left us vulnerable to Microsoft canceling support. Stewardship, Service and Community during COVID-19 This has been quite a month. Staff is settling into new ways of working, as we continuously adjust operations and levels of service to reflect the changing environment in which we are all living. We are staying flexible and ready, keeping the health and safety of employees and customers our top priority, and pushing ourselves to find innovative ways to serve. The Authority plays an important role in the Greater Philadelphia region as stewards of the four bridges and PATCO transit line. We hold these assets in trust for the community, and we are steadfast in our commitment to operate, protect and maintain them while providing for the safety and security of all employees, customers, and other stakeholders. “Business as usual” may be some time away, but the Authority is determined to see through to the other side of this. We remain open, available, and ready to support our community. ____________________________________________________________ For a list of Bridge and Finance actions, see Attachment 1 For a list of Personnel Actions, see Attachment 2 For a list of Contracts and Purchases, see Attachment 3 For the Affirmative Action Report, see Attachment 4 For a list of Legal Statistics, see Attachment 5 ____________________________________________________________ PATCO ____________________________________________________________ For PATCO Ridership and Financial Information, See the General Manager’s Report in the PATCO section Attached are reports from the appropriate departments. ____________________________________________________________ Respectfully Submitted, John T.

  • 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.

    Contact: February 9, 2016 Chelsea Newburg (718) 694-4915 [email protected] REVENUE REVIEW: 370 JAY STREET & THE MONEY ROOM Wednesday, February 17 from 6:30 – 8:30pm Less than four blocks from the Transit Museum, above the Jay Street – MetroTech Station, stands 370 Jay Street, a 13-story white limestone building that for more than 50 years housed the headquarters of New York’s evolving transit agencies. From 1951 to 2006 subway and bus fares were processed there, in the Department of Revenue’s once-secret Money Room. The Money Room evolved as technology advanced: tokens were introduced in 1953, an innovative vacuum system helped speed up money processing at bus depots, and in the 1990s the MetroCard and Automated Fare Collection system brought revenue collection into the digital age. On Wednesday, February 17th, join long-time MTA employee and COO of Revenue Control Alan Putre and transit blogger Ben Kabak of Second Avenue Sagas for a look back at the fascinating history of this once-secret room. Tickets are available at http://bit.ly/RevenueReview for $10 (free for Museum members). Visit www.mta.info/museum/programs for more information on Transit Museum programs and to purchase tickets. New York Transit Museum programs explore the history, ingenuity, and inner workings of the transit system that is the lifeblood of our region.

    E-ZPass Account User Guide Welcome to the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission’s E-ZPass Commercial Account program. With E-ZPass, you will be able to pass through a toll facility without exchanging cash or tickets.

The speed limit through E-ZPass lanes is 5-miles per hour unless otherwise posted. The 5-mile per hour limit is for the safety of all E-ZPass customers and Pennsylvania Turnpike employees. If you have any questions about your E-ZPass account, please contact your company representative or call the PTC E-ZPass Customer Service Center at 1.877.PENNPASS (1.877.736.6727) and ask for a Commercial E-ZPass Customer Service Representative. Information is also available on the web at www.paturnpike.com . How do I install my E-ZPass?
