Adjournment CEO REPORT Report of the Chief Executive Officer Delaware River Port Authority of Pennsylvania and New Jersey One Port Center 2 Riverside Drive Camden, New Jersey 08101-1949 May 8, 2018 To the Commissioners: The following is a summary of recent DRPA activities. The appropriate reports are attached: Administrative Office of Business Development & Equal Opportunity (OBD&EO) Unannounced Facility Sweeps On April 3 and 25, 2018 Erin Watterson, EEO Specialist and Ron Kelly, Compliance, of the OBD&EO conducted unannounced facility sweeps at the four (4) bridge facilities, all PATCO stations and the Lindenwold Administration Building. All administration, police and maintenance work areas, offices, lunch rooms and locker rooms are inspected to ensure nothing is posted which would violate the Authority Policy Against Sex Harassment or the Policy Against Harassment not Related to Sex. At this most recent inspection, there was nothing found that violated either of the policies. Additionally, all EEO posters were updated with 2018 versions. Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day Event On April 26, 2018, the DRPA celebrated its 3rd annual “Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day”. Valerie Bradford, Bridge Director, Ben Franklin Bridge and Betsy Ross Bridge, agreed to host the event at her facility. The theme of the event was “Service Force: Agents of Positive Change” and provided us with a great opportunity to highlight our Authority’s mission, vision and values, as well as the subject of stewardship. The day started with a welcome from Chief Executive Officer (CEO) John T. Hanson. He explained our responsibility as stewards of DRPA to provide safe transportation and a way to connect people. In addition, we invited PATCO employees and their children to share part of the day with us. Before joining us, they took a tour of the PATCO facilities, including the train car wash before heading up to DRPA. The children were treated to a train ride and were shuttled to the Ben Franklin Bridge facility to join the fun. Sixty-four (64) DRPA children and thirty-two (32) PATCO children participated in the day’s events. The children were divided by age into four (4) groups and, led by a Human Resource Services (HRS) group leader, they spent time at four different “sessions”: 1) Tour of Ben Franklin Bridge Tile Room - the children and their parents, escorted by Bridge employees, walked the bridge’s foot walk up to the famed “Tile Room” once there, DRPA Senior Engineer and resident DRPA bridge historian Mike Howard shared with them the history of the tiles. 2) Interactive Tour of the Bridge Equipment - just outside the bridge’s maintenance garage, the children were able to view up close the vehicles used to maintain the bridge, including the barrier mover as well as Public Safety’s “smart car”. Children saw up close how the machines operate as demonstrated by the Maintenance employees. 3) Mini-museum with movie and bridge artifacts - after viewing a short film on the history of the Ben Franklin Bridge and the painting of the Commodore Barry Bridge, Senior Engineer Elisabeth Klawunn answered the children’s questions and explained the artifacts in the “museum”. Some children had a great time trying on the harnesses and the hard hats. 4) Arts and Crafts Station - after viewing the tile room, children were given the opportunity to create their own “tiles”. Each child was given a ceramic tile to decorate with marker pens. In addition, they each created a “kindness rock” and a birdfeeder, in honor of Earth Day. In addition to the aforementioned sessions, Christina Maroney, Director, Strategic Initiatives and Nicole Ochroch, Associate Engineer presented information on “sustainability” and encouraged each child to think about the “carbon footprint” they were leaving on the earth. Everyone was challenged to conserve resources wherever and whenever possible and to understand their roles as good stewards of the earth. After lunch, some children were able to plant flowers around the maintenance garage as part of a “beautification” effort. All of the children signed a wooden plaque that will be hung near a tree that was to be planted that day in honor of the day’s events. The children received complimentary backpacks which contained snacks, a commemorative notepad and folder, and other items to mark the event. Mike Williams, Acting, Manager, Corporate Communications documented the day’s events by taking pictures throughout the day. Some of these photos from the special day are pictured herein. From the feedback received, everyone had a great day. I was pleased to authorize the event led by Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Toni P. Brown, and Director of Human Resource Services Kelly Forbes. Special thanks to Linda Ashley, HRS Administrator, Employee Relations, who again coordinated the event. Thanks are also extended to Bridge Director Val Bradford and her staff, Steve Reiners, Director Fleet, staff in Engineering, John Rink, General Manager, PATCO Heather Still and Karen Dougherty, Administrative Coordinators PATCO, Khalil Christian and Mark Armbruster, Safety and the entire HRS team. This event’s success was truly a testament of the power of “collaboration” and “authentic communication”. New Employee Three Month Survey-Update As part of Human Resource Services’ (HRS) efforts to: 1) improve services we provide to our employees; 2) make sure that new employees are sufficiently engaged, supported and educated so that they can perform their duties efficiently; and 3) support the mission, vision and values of the Authority, HRS, with the help of the Department of Strategic Initiatives created several surveys to obtain feedback from our employees. One of the surveys is for new employees who have been employed for three (3) months. The employees are asked for their feedback on their experience at the Authority since leaving new hire orientation. Specifically, they are asked whether they have been supported at their worksite and otherwise prepared to start their work, whether they were welcomed by their supervisor, and whether they have participated in some form of “cultural integration”, that is, whether their supervisor has informed them about the mission, vision and values of the Authority and how the employee’s job supports same. The survey is being finalized and it will be issued soon to all employees hired since January 2018. Survey results and feedback will be shared and will assist HRS and management in our retention efforts. Legal DRPA Claims Administrator Brenda Greene attended the Pennsylvania Self Insurers’ Association (PSIA) Annual Meeting on April 8-9, 2018, in Gettysburg, PA. Established in 1922, PSIA represents the interests of self-insured employers in Pennsylvania. PSIA members, whose companies self-insure their employees’ workers compensation coverage, work to prove and protect the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation laws and regulation. Brenda has been a Board Member of the PSIA since 2014 and is an active member of the Programs/Membership committee where she oversees a program to introduce university and college students to careers in the workers’ compensation industry. Ms. Greene mentored students from Pennsylvania State University at this years’ Annual Conference.

  • 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.

These investments will greatly contribute to the building of the Camden County Link Trail which will benefit the City of Camden and the surrounding area in multiple ways. The Camden County Link Trail is an ambitious 34-mile trail project that will connect the urban core and scenic waterfront of the City of Camden to 16 of the county’s suburban communities, while linking to countless businesses, schools, neighborhoods, parks, and open spaces. When fully constructed, it will allow hundreds of thousands of county residents to walk, hike, or bike to recreational areas, commute to work or school, and stimulate local economies at multiple downtown business districts. It is my understanding that with this funding residents and commuters will be able to safely navigate the beautiful Delaware River and Cooper River waterfront, while avoiding high traffic areas such as Routes 30, 130, and 676.

The report summarizes all awards made to certified disadvantaged, minority and women-owned businesses in 2004, and reports on the actual dollars paid to these businesses. This year, for the first time, we have also made this report available to the public via CD-Rom. The report is also on our website at www.drpa.org/obdeo. In 2004, the Delaware River Port Authority spent $77.3 million, and paid $20.9 million or 27% to certified D/M/WBEs. While the Authority spent considerably less in 2004, our commitment to leveling the playing field for all businesses desiring to compete for contract opportunities remained firm. Since 1994, the year our Board approved our non-discrimination programs, the Delaware River Port Authority and the Port Authority Transit Corporation, collectively “the Authority,” have paid more than $170.5 million to disadvantaged, minority and women-owned businesses interested in competing for contract opportunities. We remain committed to taking affirmative steps to “level the playing field” for all businesses.

CAMDEN, NJ – The Camden Waterfront will be busy with a variety of fun, family- friendly holiday activities between now and the end of the year! Today, Mayor Dana L. Redd of Camden and Mayor Michael A. Nutter of Philadelphia hosted a news conference to kick off the holiday festivities along the Camden Waterfront and Penn’s Landing. The event, hosted at City Hall in Philadelphia, outlined all the exciting activities to do along both sides of the Delaware River during this 2014 holiday season. The SugarHouse New Year’s Eve Fireworks on the Waterfront shows will return once more to the Waterfront as a cross-city partnership between Camden and Philadelphia. SugarHouse Casino is the primary sponsor of the SugarHouse New Year’s Eve Fireworks on the Waterfront, produced again by Pyrotecnico. In addition to the traditional midnight display, there will also be a showing at 6 p.m. “The City of Camden is thrilled to celebrate another New Year’s Eve with its sister city, Philadelphia,” said Camden Mayor Dana L. Redd. “The SugarHouse New Year’s Eve Fireworks on the Waterfront represents a unique collaboration between our two great cities and numerous public-private partnerships that are helping to transform our waterfronts into a world-class destination.” Visitors on both waterfronts will be able to hear the synchronized musical soundtracks accompanying the spectacular choreographed fireworks display.
