Truckers' Resources

We understand the unique needs of truckers. That’s why we compiled the resources you need to ensure a safe and smooth trip on the six crossings owned and maintained by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. 

If you’re traveling between New York and New Jersey in a truck or commercial vehicle, we ask that you familiarize yourself with the restrictions below.  This includes the transportation of hazardous materials, vehicle lengths, widths, heights, and weights. Violators are subject to a summons and a fine.
