Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH), a subsidiary of The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, is a 13.8-mile rapid-transit system operating as the primary transit link between Manhattan and neighboring New Jersey urban communities, as well as suburban commuter railroads. It serves Newark, Harrison, Hoboken, and Jersey City in metropolitan northern New Jersey, as well as lower and midtown Manhattan in New York City. PATH trains run around the clock year round; four routes serving 13 stations operate during the daytime on weekdays, while two routes operate during weekends, late nights, and holidays. Its tracks cross the Hudson River through century-old cast iron tubes that rest on the river bottom under a thin layer of silt. It operates as a deep-level subway in Manhattan and the Jersey City/Hoboken riverfront; from Grove Street in Jersey City to Newark, trains run in open cuts, at grade level, and on elevated track. Although PATH has long operated as a rapid transit system, it is legally a commuter railroad under the jurisdiction of the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). PATH Train Pet Policy: Small dogs and cats secured in carrying cases are allowed on all trains. Unconfined animals except seeing eye dogs or other assistance animal are prohibited.
Taking a pet to the United States involves preparation and planning far in advance of your departure date.
