Regional Support Grows for Southern New Jersey Transit Plan

By John J. Matheussen, CEO, DRPA

and President of PATCO

There is tremendous regional support for the implementation of a strong vision of transit investment for South Jersey. This vision includes a new light rail line from Camden to Glassboro along the existing Conrail Right of Way that will connect to Philadelphia and communities along the way that grew up along that rail route at a time when railroads formed the transportation backbone of our state. Along with expanded light rail, the plan also calls for bus rapid transit along Routes 42 and 55 and an improved rail connection to Atlantic City and its International Airport along the existing line that originates at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia.
