SI Engineering is proud to be a part of the Louis Berger/HNTB Team for the Program Management of the Port Authority Bus Terminal Replacement Program.
The PANYNJ is proposing to replace the Port Authority Bus Terminal (PABT). Currently, the PABT is operating at capacity during peak periods, with 260,000 weekday trips to and from Midtown Manhattan in 2015 and weekday bus passenger volume projected to increase to as many as 337,000 per day by 2040. In addition, the PABT facility is functionally and operationally inadequate and outdated based on current bus size and weight standards, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, and lack of adequate flexibility and capacity to support forecast growth in bus demand. Design and performance criteria for the replacement terminal are intended to improve service quality and operational efficiency of the Trans-Hudson transit network while promoting public transportation, increasing transit system reliability, and regional economic sustainability in the corridor connecting New Jersey to Midtown Manhattan by modernizing infrastructure and systems, and ensuring adequate capacity to meet existing and future travel demand.
