Facts and practical information

The Delaware River Port Authority, officially the Delaware River Port Authority of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is a bi-state agency instrumentality created by a Congressionally approved interstate compact between the governments of Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Though the DRPA has "port" in its name, it does not own or operate any ports. ()
