The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) has selected Stantec to lead the preliminary and final design for key elements of the Newark AirTrain Replacement Program.
The $2 billion project aims to increase public transit access and connectivity for underserved communities in Northern New Jersey. It will also promote increased adoption of public transportation to and from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).
When complete, the new $2 billion AirTrain project will promote increased adoption of public transportation to EWR and provide a stronger connection to two of New Jersey’s largest cities, Newark and Elizabeth.
Stantec will lead the design of a new Maintenance and Control Facility, pedestrian connectors between the new AirTrain and existing Terminals B and C, and, the decommissioning of the existing AirTrain.
The AirTrain Newark Replacement Program is a critical component of the operation of Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), the PANYNJ said in a statement. The system carries on average 33,000 passengers per day or approximately 12 million passengers per year.
It provides access to the Northeast Corridor Rail Link Station and gives people the ability to transfer between terminals, parking lots and rental car facilities. The current AirTrain Newark has reached the end of its useful life, PANYNJ said. The new AirTrain system will better meet increasing passenger demands.
“We welcome the opportunity to help improve the overall transit experience at EWR. Working on projects that better connect our communities is core to Stantec’s mission and goals,” said Kevin Doyle, vice president and US aviation sector leader. “The AirTrain Newark Replacement Program is a testament to the importance of providing communities with safe and easy access to public transportation.”
