Join us for the annual RPA New Jersey Reception on Thursday, February 26, 2026!

Governor Florio was our friend, mentor, esteemed RPA Board Member, and Co-Chair of our New Jersey Committee for more than 20 years. The Governor James J. Florio Leadership Award and companion internship program recognizes and celebrates outstanding New Jersey leaders who embody the Governor’s legacy through their work toward better mobility, stronger and more inclusive communities, and a more resilient region.

This year, the Florio Award will be presented to Craig Guy, Hudson County Executive, in recognition of his ongoing work to advance bold housing strategies that prioritize affordability, inclusion, and opportunity for all residents.

The event is also an opportunity to toast the Raritan Valley Line Mayors’ Alliance, a bi-partisan advocacy group of 32 Mayors from Union, Somerset, Hunterdon and Middlesex Counties advocating for fair and equitable service for more than 23,000 users of the Raritan Valley Line.
