Overview
The Philadelphia Regional Port Authority (PRPA) is an independent agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania charged with the management, maintenance, marketing, and promotion of the public port facilities along the Delaware River in Philadelphia, as well as protecting maritime-industrial activity in the port district. PRPA was created by an act of the Pennsylvania legislature in 1989.

PRPA works with its terminal operators to modernize and improve its facilities on a regular basis, and to market those facilities to current and prospective port users.

Port cargoes and the activity they generate are responsible for thousands of direct and indirect jobs in the Philadelphia area and throughout Pennsylvania.
