Port Authority Retirees Association, Inc. 

What is PARA?

PARA is the Port Authority Retirees Association.  Membership in PARA is open to all retirees and active employees of The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and of its predecessor, The Port of New York Authority, including PATH.

Mission

Our mission is to serve PA retirees and to promote their welfare.  We do this by keeping them informed on matters that affect them and by engaging in other activities to further their interests.  We foster and encourage legislation that maintains or improves our circumstances primarily as it affects the pensions of the New York State Retirement System and our health benefits.

THANK YOU RETIREES!

PARA’s call for members to submit recollections of their Port Authority years prompted many retirees and several surviving relatives to submit wonderful, heartfelt stories. A handful will be excerpted elsewhere in the PANYNJ Centennial issue. This is a special section of the PARA website and will include the full text of all the submittals (received by April 12, 2021) The link below will go live in May:

PARA Board Member Profiles

Note: Each page of the website will have a Menu Bar that will always be at the top of every page and have pull-down choices so you can more easily navigate to a web page.  This Menu Bar has a main menu across the top and each button has as many sub-menu's to take you to just about every page in the website.  As you scroll up or down the menu will always try to find the top of your browser window.  I will keep a text only menu in very small print on the bottom of every page.  If you pass your cursor over any word and it becomes larger and italicized that means there is a link attached to that word, note: I usually use yellow, green, blue or the default gold for links, just click on the word and you will go to the linked page.  A little tech talk for the advanced - there are well over 8,500 Hyperlinks embedded in this website that will connect you to over 1,500 external links.  If you can't find something of interest for you while surfing this website then send me link to what you would like me to add.......Webmaster
