| Port Authority Police are currently
investigating the fraudulent reproduction of ConnectCards and have several
arrests pending. Riders should be assured that no security breach or identify theft has occurred, and customer information has not been compromised. “This is simply a case of an individual producing fraudulent smart cards and selling them outside of legitimate ConnectCard retail channels,” said Port Authority Police Det. Kevin Atkins. The technology used in ConnectCards has aided in detecting and deactivating fraudulent cards. The introduction of this technology has made it easier for Port Authority to stop fraud, especially when compared to the former paper pass system. This investigation is still ongoing. Anyone with any additional information regarding this case should contact Port Authority Police at 412-255-1385. | |

Port Authority Reaches Agreement with Police Union
The Port Authority Board of Directors today approved a new labor agreement with the Port Authority Transit Police Association, which represents its police officers.
The agreement runs through July 31, 2013 and applies to more than 30 employees who work for the Authority's Police Department. This agreement was ratified by our police officers, but not by the unit representing sergeants and lieutenants, who work under a separate agreement. Management will continue to work with that group to reach a settlement.
The contract is retroactive to Aug. 1, 2009. Wages are frozen under the first two years of the agreement with the possibility of increases in the last two years.
"Recognizing the current financial condition of the Authority, this is certainly an austerity contract," said Jack Brooks, Chairman of the Port Authority Board of Directors. "Our police already have helped address the legacy cost issue as they gave up post-retirement healthcare in 2007 along with management and non-represented staff."
Also, new police employees hired on or after Sept. 1 will be enrolled in a defined contribution retirement program along with management and non-represented staff.
