Meeting Synopsis of the Council/PFAC


Program, Finance and Administration Committee (PFAC) Meeting Features Presentation on GWB Bike and Pedestrian Improvements

On June 15, 2023, NYMTC’s Program, Finance and Administration Committee (PFAC) held a regularly scheduled meeting. NYMTC Executive Director Adam Levine reported on recent and upcoming NYMTC activities, including the commencement of the public outreach activities associated with the development of Plan 2055.

The meeting featured a presentation by Alexander Levi, AIA NCARB, Principal Architect at the Port Authority of NY & NJ (PANYNJ) titled “George Washington Bridge Pedestrian and Cyclist Improvements”. The presentation featured work that is underway by the PANYNJ to add safety improvements to the north and south shared use paths on the GWB and make them fully accessible. While the century-old bridge has always included walk and bike ways, access to them has been a challenge due to the height of the bridge and its short approaches. This project addresses this issue. The improved paths will also include viewing stands. The north path opened in February 2023 and work is underway on the south path. The project is expected to be completed by 2027.

The PFAC Chair reported on the following recent action adopted by mail ballot:

  • Resolution #560 – Distribution of Federal Fiscal Years (FFYs) 2023 Federal Transit Funding

PFAC adopted the following resolutions at the meeting:

  • Resolution #561 – Amendment to the Resilience Improvement Plan Addendum to the Federal Fiscal Years (FFYs) 2022-2050 Regional Transportation Plan
  • Resolution #562 - Amendments to the Major Metropolitan Transportation Investments Section of the Federal Fiscal Years (FFYs) 2022-2050 Regional Transportation Plan
  • Resolution #563 - Support of Statewide Targets Under the Federal Transportation Performance Management Requirements
  • Resolution #564 – Amendments to the State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2023-2024 Unified Planning Work Program

The next PFAC meeting is scheduled for Thursday, September 21, at 11:30 AM.
