August 14, 2023
This year, as we mark the 22nd anniversary of 9/11, we invite all agency staff and retirees to give back to the community in honor of the friends and colleagues we lost in the attacks on the World Trade Center on February 26, 1993, and September 11, 2001.
Today, we are pleased to open registration for our annual Remembrance Through Renewal (RTR) Month of Service events. We’ve incorporated feedback from previous years and partnered with more organizations to give our Port Authority community additional opportunities to volunteer across the bistate region.
