Notes

Authority operating rule of a compact authority (foot-passenger suspension; office closures) captured in the week Delaware and New Jersey declared their emergencies.

Retrieval note

Rendered Wayback capture (Mar. 18, 2020) of the DRBA home page (full URL in banner) with the Mar. 16 advisory headline and the office-closure notice; the advisory's own page was not saved, so the foot-passenger suspension is verified from the authority's headline and the office closures from the home-page text.
