Regional transportation continues to be a major issue and we have sponsored a number of events regionally to facilitate discussions on this important topic. Working with partners like the New Jersey Chapter of the National Association of Industrial Office Properties(NAIOP), the Tri-State Transportation Campaign, The Regional Planning Partnership and others, we continue to help shape the policy and plans for the future of transportation and intermodal issues in the region.
