Port Authority to hold transportation summit on May 7

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and its regional partners, including Amtrak, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, New Jersey Transit, and the Regional Plan Association, will host a summit on May 7, to focus on the regional challenge of increasing Trans-Hudson transportation capacity. To be held at the newly-opened One World Trade Center, the day-long summit–entitled “A Vital Link: Expanding Transportation Capacity Across the Hudson”—will bring together leaders in the transportation community to discuss the current state of the infrastructure linking New York and New Jersey, alternatives for increasing capacity to meet future demand, and the numerous financial and regulatory hurdles to be faced in making these plans a reality.
The Summit proceedings—which will be available online for public viewing—will feature expert speakers and panel discussions, including public and private sector leaders in transportation policy, finance, and regulation.
