Recently, Port Authority Tunnel & Bridge Agents from all facilities participated in annual refresher training focused on rescue operations, hazardous environment response, and self-extrication techniques. Training included trapped occupant rescue scenarios, thermal imaging camera operations, live fire behavior demonstrations inside the burn building, and maze-based self-rescue exercises designed to prepare agents for real-world emergencies.

Continuous training ensures our Tunnel & Bridge Agents remain ready to respond safely and effectively in any situation.
