Project Description

The new AirTrain will be a 2.5-mile elevated guideway train system and the centerpiece of the modernization of Newark Liberty International Airport. The new AirTrain will replace the Existing AirTrain, which opened in 1996 and is reaching the end of its useful life which makes it susceptible to more frequent breakdowns and delays. The new AirTrain will be designed to maximize customer convenience with seamless connections to other forms of transportation and provide modern wayfinding and amenities in AirTrain Stations and in Vehicles.
