The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has selected Stantec to lead planning and preliminary design for key elements of the $2 billion Newark AirTrain replacement program, according to a Stantec news release.
When completed, the new AirTrain is expected to increase the use of public transit to Newark Liberty International Airport and provide a stronger connection to the New Jersey cities of Newark and Elizabeth, according to a Stantec press release.
Stantec will lead the design of a new maintenance and control facility, pedestrian connectors between the new AirTrain and existing Terminals B and C, and, the decommissioning of the existing AirTrain. Stantec’s scope will include structural design, building design, architecture, utilities, roadways, and maintenance and protection of traffic.
The Newark AirTrain system currently carries on average 33,000 passengers per day. It provides access to Newark Liberty International Airport Station and provides customers and employees with the ability to transfer between terminals, parking lots, and rental car facilities.
“Our transit design solutions will balance an efficient and welcoming rider experience with sustainable, durable facilities that are adaptable to EWR’s evolving needs,” said Ken Anderson, vice president and civic sector leader at Stantec. “We understand the need to provide safe, scalable, and inclusive services to make transit more accessible to all users as they navigate this busy system.”
