I'm still interviewing, so I haven't done much yet. The Capital Plan is a well-rounded set of important projects that back up the Port Authority's mission to handle the region's main transportation needs, while also being responsible with public money. This plan was made using a thorough process and prioritizing based on risk, looking at 21st-century infrastructure needs, the state of current assets, how it affects operations and revenue, security risks, customer service, what's good for the region, rules, and if the plan is affordable long-term.

Behavioral Technical
I sent in my application online through my university and waited about two months. Then, I got an email about a phone interview for the role. Someone from accounting called me and asked me some behavioral questions and questions about Excel. I didn't hear back after that, so I emailed the interviewer to follow up, just being polite because I had already accepted another internship. He told me someone from HR would contact me and said he appreciated the follow-up. I never heard back from HR.
