The pandemic continued to impact ridership at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s (PANYNJ) Port Authority-Trans Hudson (PATH) rail system in July. 

When compared to pre-COVID volumes in July 2019, PATH ridership remained down during the month.

Port volumes continued to set new cargo records for the 12th consecutive month and achieved the highest July monthly total in the port’s history, PANYNJ officials said in a press release.
