MROZEK, Executive Director Board of Commissioners New Jersey Turnpike Authority 581 Main Street Woodbridge, New Jersey 07095 Commissioners: The New Jersey Turnpike Authority Act of 1948, as amended, restated and supplemented, the Turnpike Revenue Bond Resolution of 1991, as amended, restated and supplemented, as well as Executive Orders 122 (McGreevy, 2004) and 37 (Corzine, 2006), require an annual audit of the Authority’s financial statements by a firm of independent auditors. Executive Order 37 (Corzine, 2006) (EO37) additionally requires the Authority, on an annual basis, to prepare a comprehensive report concerning the Authority’s operations. Under EO37, the comprehensive report shall include, among other things, the Authority’s audited financial statements. Accordingly, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (Authority) for the year ended December 31, 2014 is hereby submitted. The CAFR is presented in three sections: introductory, financial and statistical. The introductory section includes this letter of transmittal, the Authority’s Board of Commissioners, the Authority’s organizational chart, narrative background information about the Authority and a report of management required under EO37. It also discusses the Authority’s current $7 Billion Capital Investment Plan. The financial section includes the independent auditor’s report, management’s discussion and analysis, the basic financial statements including notes to the financial statements and schedules that provide additional financial information. The statistical section provides trend and operational data, generally on a multi-year basis. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the Authority. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is accurate in all material respects and is reported in a manner designed to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Authority. All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the Authority’s financial activities have been included. We believe that this report provides a full understanding of the Authority’s 2014 financial and operational activities, including the completion of the $2.3 billion widening of the New Jersey Turnpike between Interchanges 6 and 9. This project added 3 travel lanes in each direction between Interchanges 6 and 9, was completed on time and under budget, and added 170 lane miles to the roadway. The Interchange 6 to 9 widening project is designed to relieve heavy and recurring traffic congestion on this section of the New Jersey Turnpike, improve operational and maintenance performance, and provide for the increased demand for capacity in the future.
