A passionate advocate for the Gateway Program, Mr. Zaro will address the implications of the largest and most urgent infrastructure priority in the U.S. for the business community in NJ and beyond. The Gateway Program is a multibillion-dollar infrastructure initiative to build a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River, a new Portal Bridge over the Hackensack River, an expansion of New York’s Penn Station, and other ancillary projects. Trans-Hudson commuting is vital to the national and regional economy, impacting more than 200,000 passengers each day. An estimated 20% of the American economy depends on the Hudson River tunnels carrying trains between Washington D.C., New York City and Boston.
