Working in coordination with City agencies, our Transportation team manages the City's maritime terminals and freight assets.

The maritime terminals include:

Brooklyn Cruise Terminal

South Brooklyn Marine Terminal

New York Container Terminal in Staten Island

Manhattan Cruise Terminal

RAIL FREIGHT

In the area of rail freight, the Transportation department is responsible for developing and managing facilities throughout the city.

These facilities include:

The reactivated Staten Island Railroad

AIR TRANSPORT

To improve the City’s aviation networks the Transportation Department works with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to ensure that our airports, JFK and LaGuardia, are world-class gateways that are easily accessible both on the ground and in the air. Additionally, the Transportation Department is working to develop a comprehensive City policy towards commuter helicopter services.
