The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded a $7,432,000 project grant (CFDA 20.507 - Federal Transit Formula Grants) to the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) to reconstruct Passenger Slip #1 at the Central Railroad of New Jersey (CRRNJ) Terminal State Historic Site in Liberty State Park, Jersey City, New Jersey. The grant will fund the reconstruction of the ferry slip gangway, transfer bridge access platform, ferry house platform, dredging, and wave break. The expected outcomes include the restoration of daily public ferry service connecting Liberty State Park, Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty, as well as providing additional ferry landing options for tourism, special events, and emergency situations. The project will benefit tourists visiting the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, as well as visitors to the historic CRRNJ Terminal.
