Regional Connectivity: A Dialogue on Shared Priorities and Collaborative Visions

Monday, November 23, 2026
9:00 to 11:00 AM
Paul Robeson Campus Center, Rutgers University-Newark
350 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Newark, NJ 07102

Three mayors. One region. One conversation about the network that moves us all.

The Newark Regional Business Partnership invites you to a morning of candid, forward-looking dialogue with the leaders shaping how our region connects, commutes, and grows. As the cities of Newark, Hoboken, and Jersey City chart the future of regional transportation, their mayors will share one stage for an honest exchange on the shared priorities and collaborative solutions that move the whole region forward.

Moderated by the Regional Plan Association, the panel will explore the questions that matter most to our business community:

Collaborative infrastructure: building and funding transit that crosses city and county lines
The commuter experience: what it takes to move people reliably, affordably, and sustainably
Resilience and innovation: preparing the network for what comes next
Stakeholder engagement: how business, government, and community align on a shared vision

This is a conversation for the leaders who have a stake in the region's future: C-suite executives, planners, policy advocates, and business leaders who understand that how we move shapes how we grow.

Featuring:
Mayor Ras J. Baraka, City of Newark
Mayor Emily Jabbour, City of Hoboken
Mayor James Solomon, City of Jersey City

Moderated by:
Zoe Baldwin, Regional Plan Association

Please note: registration increases by $10 as of November 20.
