The Delaware River & Bay Authority (DRBA) was created by Compact in 1962. The DRBA, overseen by six commissioners from New Jersey and six from Delaware, is charged with providing vital transportation links between the two states as well as economic development in Delaware and the four southern counties of New Jersey. To fulfill these missions, the DRBA operates the Delaware Memorial Bridge, the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, the Three Forts Ferry Crossing, the Salem County Business Center and five airports—Wilmington/New Castle, The Civil Air Terminal at Dover AFB, and Delaware Airpark, all in Delaware, and the Millville Executive and Cape May Airports, both in New Jersey.
