Environmental Responsibility
Responsibility and Transparency
Environmental justice is a key focus of this important safety and modernization Program.
Our Ongoing Environmental Commitment
As part of our commitment to environmental responsibility and transparency, this page is dedicated to providing easy access to environmental documents such as the draft New Jersey Executive Order 215 Environmental Impact Statement and the draft National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Environmental Assessment. These documents are available for viewing or downloading. For more information about what an EIS or EA is, visit the Helpful Terminology section on the About page.
Hard copies of the draft NEPA EA are also available at the Newark Public Library (5 Washington Street, Newark), the Bayonne Public Library (697 Avenue C, Bayonne), and the Jersey City Public Library, Earl A. Morgan Branch (1841 John F. Kennedy Boulevard, Jersey City).
Draft NEPA Environmental Assessment
The draft NEPA EA confirms the findings of the draft NJ Executive Order 215 EIS. The first project will relieve congestion between Interchanges 14 and 14A and maintain or improve community and environmental quality.
