North Jersey Transportation Summit 

Transportation is by far the top issue facing our community--businesses, commuters and residents alike. Access to our cities, airports, ports are all qualities that bring people to North Jersey. But, how do we move efficiently and effectively?

The Hudson County Chamber of Commerce is partnering with industry leaders from the NJBIA, Gateway Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the Meadowlands Chamber of Commerce, to focus on "Breaking the Infrastructure Log Jam."
