Tom Wright, President & CEO, Regional Plan Association: RPA is thrilled to see the advancement of the Port Authority Bus Terminal overhaul, having engaged with the Port Authority on potential alternatives for the project for many years. More than just transporting people, the bus terminal serves as an engine that can boost the economic vitality and competitiveness of the entire region, and we are pleased to see a vision for the project that will create a civic destination that also serves as an urban hub. Congratulations to Governor Murphy, Governor Hochul, Mayor Adams, and the Port Authority for reaching today’s crucial milestone. We look forward to advocating for this project’s completion for years to come.
