The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Board of Commissioners approved on Friday approximately $4.5 billion in funding for major airport transportation projects.
Approximately $2.05 billion will be allocated to AirTrain LGA, which will connect the airport with a new station at Willets Point linked to enhanced Long Island Railroad service to and from New York City.
The board also authorized $2.05 billion to develop a new AirTrain Newark to serve Newark Liberty International Airport. The new AirTrain would replace the existing three-mile monorail system that opened in 1996.
