Awards and Accomplishments
The following is a list of awards that demonstrate the success of our efforts toward achieving our
vision of being recognized as a world-class stewardship organization.
Engineering: On March 11, 2015 the Walt Whitman Bridge Re-decking Project team — DRPA,
AECOM, URS/Urban Engineers, and American Bridge Company— were recognized with the
“Honor Award” by the American Council of Engineering Companies at their 44th Engineering
Excellence Awards Banquet. The multi-year, $140 million project to replace the roadway deck on the
suspension span of the bridge was completed on time and under budget.
Engineering: American Council of Engineering Companies - NJ (ACEC) has awarded an Honor
Award to the Ben Franklin Bridge PATCO Track Rehab project. This competition recognizes and
celebrates engineering achievements that demonstrate the highest degree of skill and ingenuity. The
project was recognized at the 45th Engineering Excellence Awards Banquet on March 16, 2016 in
Jamesburg, NJ.
Report of the Chief Executive Officer
DRPA
-
Health & Wellness: In April 2015, the Philadelphia Business Journal named DRPA a “Healthiest
Employer” for the fourth consecutive year. In September, CEO John Hanson was named as a finalist
in SMARTCEO Magazine’s Healthiest Company Awards. The honors recognize the Authority’s
commitment to develop and grow our employee wellness program.
Health & Wellness: In April 2016, was selected by NJBIZ as a finalist in the “Workplace Wellness
Hero” category in the 2016 Healthcare Heroes awards program. This award recognizes and honors a
business for a company-wide wellness program, healthy work environment, ergonomics program, or
other health-related activities benefitting employees.
Diversity: In November 2015, DRPA was selected as a 2015 recipient of the “WTS – Philadelphia
Chapter Diversity Award”. The WTS is an international organization dedicated to building the future
of transportation through the global advancement of women. The award acknowledges DRPA’s
efforts to expand its contracting and vendor database to reflect and embrace diversity. Since 1994,
DRPA has paid more than $300 million to certified M/W/DBE and veteran-owned businesses.
Finance: In December 2015, for the 23rd consecutive year, the Authority earned the "Certificate
of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers
Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA). The award recognizes the DRPA’s
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for Year Ended December 31, 2014. The certificate is
the highest recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment
represents a significant accomplishment by a government agency and its management.
The following are recent examples of exemplary stewardship demonstrated by our DRPA and
PATCO employees. I am extremely proud of their efforts:
2016 Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day
On Thursday, April 28, 2016, the Authority hosted a special program at both DRPA and PATCO
for children of employees for the national “Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day.” This
year’s program was an enhancement over prior years’ programs.
A total of 80 children participated in enhanced programs at DRPA and PATCO. The programs
began with refreshments provided by DRPA, a Welcome Message and a brief overview of the
DRPA and PATCO and what it meant to be a “World-Class Steward”. Children of PATCO
employees enjoyed a tour of the PATCO departments, Center Tower and were given several
demonstrations by various department employees.
After enjoying a pizza lunch provided by the DRPA, the children joined their parents at their
work stations to see “World-Class Stewards” in action. The special day ended with a wrap-up

and presentation of Certificates of Participation and a photograph of the Benjamin Franklin
Bridge. In addition all children received, courtesy of the DRPA, nylon drawstring bags
commemorating the day’s events.
The employees and their children were asked to provide their feedback on the day’s events. All
comments were positive and the sessions were highly rated.
Thanks are extended to the following DRPA and PATCO staff for their help with informative

2016 Healthcare Heroes Awards Program
I am pleased to advise that NJBIZ has selected the DRPA as a finalist in the “Workplace
Wellness Hero” category in the 2016 Healthcare Heroes awards program. This is the first year
DRPA has submitted an application for the award.
The Workplace Wellness Hero award recognizes and honors a business for a company-wide
wellness program, healthy work environment, ergonomics program, or other health-related
activities benefiting employees.
I would like to thank CAO Toni P. Brown and Insurance Administrator Karen Fanning for their
work in submitting a comprehensive nomination form along with a summary of our wellness
program. Organization nominees must have offices in New Jersey to be eligible for the award.
Finalists will be honored during an awards ceremony on June 21, 2016. We will keep the Board
and the public apprised of the outcome of this effort.
2016 Walking for Wellness
In conjunction with National Walk @ Lunch Day, a kick off walk was scheduled at each bridge
location, One Port Center and PATCO on Wednesday, April 27.
The Authority launched the annual Walking for Wellness
program on Wednesday, April 27, 2016 for all DRPA and
PATCO employees.
The Walking for Wellness program is designed for anyone,
regardless of their current level of exercise. This program is on
a complete voluntary basis and it is not mandatory for any
employee to participate. It is a 12 week program which can be
tailored to your specific schedule and capabilities. The program
is fun and employee participation is an important first step
towards better health. Each participant received a program
packet which included a walking tracking log, sample walking
programs, walking tips and other helpful information regarding
health and exercise along with a tote bag provided by
AmeriHealth of NJ.

Report of the Chief Financial Officer
MAY 2016
Delaware River Port Authority
Of Pennsylvania and New Jersey
One Port Center
2 Riverside Drive
Camden, New Jersey 081011949
May 11, 2016
Commissioners:
Following this short summary, you will find key unaudited information related to
DRPA/PATCO’s financial operations, which was reviewed with the Finance Committee on
Wednesday, May 11th (see “DRPA/PATCO Unaudited Financial Summary,” dated May 10, 2016 which follows).
DRPA Traffic/Revenue:
We continue to have tremendously positive results for both DRPA revenue and traffic for the
first three months of 2016.
As mentioned in my April report, we noticed in the last three months of 2015 that traffic and
revenue numbers were up about 4.5% vs. 2014 actuals. For 2016, surprisingly, we have seen a
greater increases in traffic/revenues through March YTD, than we experienced during the
fourth quarter of 2015. For the months of February and March, traffic and revenues have
exceeded 2015 levels by over 8% (8.9% for traffic and 8.0% for revenues). This has resulted in a
962,000 increase in traffic and a $5.4 million increase vs. 2015 in revenues, despite a large
snow storm in January and the implementation of the new commuter discount, which reduced
revenues by approximately $414,000 for the first quarter.
Lower gas prices and economic growth appear to be key contributors to the higher numbers,
and there is also the impact of an additional traffic/revenue day due to Leap Year.
Actual DRPA traffic and toll revenues exceeded the March YTD budgeted numbers, with traffic
up 1.3 million vehicles greater than budget and toll revenues almost $7.5 million higher than
budget (or up 14.4%). Preliminary unaudited traffic numbers for April suggest that traffic is up
about 5% over April 2015 numbers.
-
PATCO Ridership/Net Revenues:
As shown on the stats sheet, March YTD 2016 ridership was approximately 188,000 riders
higher (up 7.75%) vs. the March 2015 YTD figures. Net passenger revenues were up $458K vs.
2015 numbers. A relatively small inclement weather impact during the first quarter, and
conclusion of the track rehab project in 2015 are important factors in this increased ridership.
YTD ridership vs. the budget are slightly up (17K riders or 0.64% above budget), whereas net
passenger revenues total $150,000 above March YTD budgeted numbers.
DRPA and PATCO Operating Budgets:
DRPA and PATCO combined budgets are approximately $4.9 million under budget (a combined
13.33% below budget). DRPA accounts for 66% of this underbudget situation ($3.2 million
under budget).
The YTD budget “positive variance” (under budget situation) has increased by $1.5 million vs.
February 2016 numbers.
Letter of Credit Extension/Replacement Plan
Based on previous Board authorization at last month’s meeting the Authority, in consultation
with its FAs and bondcounsel, is proceeding on its plan to affect the most advantageous and
appropriate financing methods to address the three (3) expiring LOC maturities.
The Authority now has authorization to: 1) extend existing letters of credits; 2) replace or
terminate expiring LOCs; 3) appoint remarketing agents for any LOC extensions/replacements
4) enter into “direct purchase transactions”; and 5) partially or fully terminate any swap
transactions (if desirable).
Potential benefits of executing the LOC extension and/or replacement strategy, include: 1)
minimization of financing costs; 2) debt portfolio diversification; and 3) possible termination of
certain swap maturities.
At the present, the Authority is focused on the most urgent expiration with BNY Mellon ($42.2
million expiring on June 16), as it must be in substantial agreement on a Continuing Covenant
Agreement with a prospective bank (related to the extension of a 5 year variable rate direct
purchase loan), so that the DRPA can issue redemption notices next week (These notices must
be sent out 30 days in advance of the June 16th maturity). We expect to issue the appropriate
notices next week.
The CCA will serve as a model template for other transactions related to the B of A and Royal
Bank expiring LOCs.
S&P Ratings Review
As reported to the Board and the public, the Authority was advised by S&P during April that
S&P has affirmed its revenue bond ratings (our Senior Bonds) and that the Port District Project
Bonds (subordinate bonds) have been upgraded from “BBB” to “A“, the second such upgrade
for the PDP bonds within three years. The affirmation of our revenue bond rating is especially
-
important at this time while are negotiating new agreements related to our LOC expirations, and effectively minimizes any impact on our variable rate facility fees.
Respectfully submitted, James M. White, Jr. CFO/Treasurer

VICE CHAIRMAN NASH: None? No public comment,
okay. We'll move then to the Report of the Chief
Executive Officer. John?
MR. HANSON: Thank you, Vice Chairman Nash.
My written report stands as submitted. I only want to
highlight one item today. I'm very pleased to advise
that under the leadership of Chief Administrative
Officer Toni Brown and with the assistance of her
Office of Business Development & Equal Opportunity,
and the Office of CAO staff, the 2015 Year-End Summary
Report of Awards and Payments to Disadvantaged,
Minority, and Women-Owned Vendors, Contractors, and
Consultants has been completed.
We are extremely proud of our commitment to
minority, women, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned
businesses. Since 1994, the year the Authority first
implemented its non-discrimination programs, we've

paid more than $307 million to certified minority,
women, and disadvantaged business enterprises and
veteran-owned businesses. This progress is possible
because of the steadfast commitment and collaboration
across all of the Authority, in particular with the
OBD&EO, the Engineering Division, and the Purchasing
and Contract Administration Departments. We are also
grateful for the ongoing guidance and support of the
Board in this regard. You have the summary report in
front of you. That's my report.
VICE CHAIRMAN NASH: All right, thank you very
much. Do we have any questions on the CEO's report?
If none, I'll entertain a motion to accept the report.
COMMISSIONER DiANTONIO: So moved.
VICE CHAIRMAN NASH: Second?
COMMISSIONER FENTRESS: Second.
VICE CHAIRMAN NASH: All those in favor?

VICE CHAIRMAN NASH: All opposed? The motion

Commissioners. My report also stands as submitted. I
just wanted to call your attention to a number of
things. We are experiencing, as we come into 2016,
excellent traffic numbers and revenue numbers, at
least through January. That's a really positive
thing. In terms of budget we are, as we typically
are, under budget; so we started the year very, very
well. On the PATCO side, the numbers are looking very
good as well. So, in general, we're seeing some
really nice preliminary numbers coming in for 2016.
The only other thing I really wanted to make
mention of is that in the packet for Board members is
a fairly complex SS&R related to our Letter of Credit
Extension and Replacement Plan that needs your
approval. Essentially, it gives us some broad
authority to take whatever steps are necessary for us
to terminate or to renew expiring LOCs with the Bank
of New York Mellon, Royal Bank, and also Bank of
America. It is somewhat complex, but I believe the
summary given for the Finance Committee, etc., gives
some more clarity.
Essentially, the Authority is seeking

authorization to extend existing Letters of Credit
where it makes sense, to replace or terminate expiring
LOCs, to appoint marketing agents for any LOC
extensions, and to enter into any direct purchase
transactions that are necessary, and to perhaps
partially or fully terminate any swap transactions if,
after analysis, it is determined that that is the most
advantageous path for the Authority to take. We are
working with our financial advisors on this.
I wanted to particularly note and thank
Treasurer Reese for his input, and we will certainly
continue to keep him updated as we follow this path.
But, right now, this is an important resolution to
enable us to get started on this LOC replacement plan.
VICE CHAIRMAN NASH: Thank you, Mr. White. I
want to underscore a couple of things for the public,
because it's hard to read the chart. Our revenues are
up, ridership is up, bridge traffic is up. The safety
situation has never been better. Thank you, Chief,
and to your men and women who work in Public Safety.
The Authority is in a good place. The revenues are
up, even though we have a commuter discount. So the

a very good financial place. It's really attributable
to the management team and to the people who work
here. Thank you.
MR. WHITE: Thank you very much. And thank
you for that summary. It is, as you said, really
great news about our numbers thus far.
VICE CHAIRMAN NASH: All right. Next is the
