Airspace Structure
While being vectored to ILS 22L at EWR and descending to 3;000; we first received a TCAS TA quickly followed by an RA to level off. I spotted traffic visually; a single engine high wing aircraft traveling northbound along the final approach course. The FO (First Officer) reacted properly to the RA and soon after we got a clear of conflict. I reported the TCAS RA to ATC. The remainder of the approach and landing proceeded without incident.
On approach to EWR turning onto localizer for 22L and descending over TEB we received a traffic warning quickly followed by an RA to level off. I was flying and immediately disconnected the autopilot and followed the RA instructions. The Captain looked for the aircraft; a small Cessna; and saw it climbing over TEB toward us. I did not see it myself. We were clear of the conflict in a few seconds and continued the approach and landing. We got within approximately 300-400 feet from the other aircraft. The captain reported the RA to ATC and nothing was said back to us from them; we were soon sent to tower frequency.
