Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering, has been selected by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to lead preliminary and final design work for key elements of the planned US$2 billion Newark AirTrain replacement. When complete, the new AirTrain will promote increased adoption of public transportation to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and provide a stronger connection to two of New Jersey¡¯s largest cities, Newark and Elizabeth.

Stantec will lead the design of a new Maintenance and Control Facility, pedestrian connectors between the new AirTrain and existing Terminals B and C, and, finally, the decommissioning of the existing AirTrain.

The AirTrain Newark Replacement Program is critical to the operation at EWR. The system carries on average 33,000 passengers per day or approximately 12 million passengers per year. It provides access to Newark Liberty International Airport Station and provides customers and employees with the ability to transfer between terminals, parking lots, and rental car facilities. The current AirTrain Newark, which has reached the end of its useful life, will be replaced with a new system to meet increasing passenger demands.

¡°Our transit design solutions will balance an efficient and welcoming rider experience with sustainable, durable facilities that are adaptable to EWR¡¯s evolving needs,¡± said Ken Anderson, vice president and civic sector leader at Â鶹´«Ã½. ¡°We understand the need to provide safe, scalable, and inclusive services to make transit more accessible to?all?users as they navigate this busy system.¡±

Stantec¡¯s scope will include structural design, building design, architecture, utilities, roadways, and maintenance and protection of traffic. Supplier diversity will be an important part of the project and will meet Port Authority requirements, with 33 percent participation from diverse suppliers. Â鶹´«Ã½ has a strong track record of meeting and exceeding supplier diversity goals, including on megaprojects like the Long Island Rail Road Third Track Expansion and Chicago Transit Authority¡¯s Red and Purple Modernization Program.

¡°We welcome the opportunity to help improve the overall transit experience at EWR. Working on projects that better connect our communities is core to Â鶹´«Ã½¡¯s mission and goals,¡± said Kevin Doyle, vice president and US aviation sector leader. ¡°The AirTrain Newark Replacement Program is a testament to the importance of providing communities with safe and easy access to public transportation.¡±
