MW01-The Other Mainline: Multimodal Communities on the PATCO Speedline

The PATCO Speedline train, running between Philadelphia and Camden County, NJ, follows the route of several historical mainline railroad lines dating from the 19th century. Ride the train to see how Haddon Township and Collingswood, two New Jersey communities with thriving downtowns adjacent to PATCO stops, are leveraging transit access to enhance pedestrian safety and promote bicycling for transportation and recreation. See key intersections and recent transformative projects and learn how these efforts transcend infrastructure, enhancing quality of life, fostering community cohesion, and nurturing complete urban environments. Hear how the convergence of transit-oriented development and grassroots activism is shaping safer, more vibrant communities for all.
