The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced plans to test electric autonomous shuttle vehicles at EWR throughout spring 2026, the agency's latest experiment with self-driving technology as the airport undergoes a sweeping redevelopment. The tests, which won't be open to the public, are intended to explore whether automated transit could eventually move passengers between airport facilities and the new AirTrain Newark system currently under construction.
The giant "LAX" sign that's welcomed travelers to the Los Angeles International Airport for the last 25 years is temporarily coming down to make way for major roadway projects. Crews began taking down the 32-foot-tall sign Thursday night, starting with the "X," as part of upcoming reconfiguration of the surrounding roads. Reconstruction will include pedestrian enhancements, improved signage and more direct access to LAX Economy Parking on a 4.4 mile-stretch of reconfigured roadway, according to the Los Angeles World Airports.
