The Port Authority is investing $10 million to fund enhanced license plate readers at its three Staten Island crossings. With new permanent license plate readers being installed at Bayonne Bridge and Outerbridge Crossing, all six Port Authority crossings will have vehicle tracking technology. Already in place at Goethals and George Washington bridges, as well as at the Holland and Lincoln tunnels, license plate readers have provided crucial data to help locate stolen vehicles and vehicles otherwise linked to criminal activity, and to also support toll evasion enforcement. This move will strengthen collaboration with regional law enforcement to share data effectively. Read the full press release here: https://ow.ly/QVvg50SeEuQ #TechInvestments #PublicSafety

Meet Leo Tsang, a transportation planner bringing self-driving technology to the region's airports! His work piloting groundbreaking new tech could make a direct impact on moving millions of people. A demonstration at JFK International Airport next month will give air travelers their first chance at boarding a driverless platoon. “The idea is to enhance the existing public transit system and make it more accessible for everyone. I think autonomous vehicles allow so much more flexibility and open up our main transit systems to so many more people who might not be able to use it today.” -Leo Tsang, Principal Transportation Planner at The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey Head to our Now Arriving blog to learn more: https://ow.ly/AhCr50S436f #AAPIHM #AV #tech
