Port Authority: Increase PATH Service Frequency & Network Expansion

PATH helps Hudson County residents, business owners, and visitors in thrive!

Thank you to the 7,000+ people who have written the Port Authority so far.

The December 2025 commitment from the Port Authority to increase weekend PATH service is exciting, but our campaign isn’t over! We’re targeting 10,000 signatures in 2026 and will continue to advocate for improvements to PATH until they are approved, funded, and made permanent.

In this petition, we ask for

• More Frequent Weekend & Off-peak Service - Five-minute maximum wait time

• Extend PATH to Newark Airport - One-seat ride to international connection

Currently, PATH runs as infrequently as every 20 minutes on weekends, weeknights, and even midday on weekdays, despite ridership having returned to pre-pandemic levels. For riders, the result is dangerous overcrowding on trains and platforms, unacceptable delays, and missed connections. The PATH can run trains every 2 minutes in rush hour; we ask for a train every 5 minutes off-peak.

While remaining optimistic about the Port Authority’s plan to increase off-peak service in 2026, we encourage them to strive for five, increasing service for the NY and NJ communities who rely on frequent, reliable PATH service. We need transformative changes to create a modern transit system for all residents, workers and visitors, and grow our region’s economy.

We also ask that the Port Authority work with cooperatively with advocates and decision-making officials to:
- improve rider experience items (like benches, bathroom access, and garbage cans, etc...)  
- maximize the planned projects seen in the 2026 Port Authority Capital Plan
