Each year on September 11th, the Port Authority comes together as an agency to honor the 84 colleagues who were killed in the attacks on the World Trade Center, including the 37 members of the Port Authority Police who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of saving lives, and to pay tribute to those who perished in the 1993 WTC bombing.  

Join the agency for this year's virtual commemoration starting at 2 pm on September 11th on the Port Authority of NY & NJ website.
