Agreement Reached On Philadelphia Waterfront Transit Expansion Plan
 PATCO recently announced an agreement that will result in light rail service along the Philadelphia Waterfront. The proposed rail will run along Market Street between City Hall and the Delaware River Waterfront, and operating from Pier 70 to SEPTA's Route 15 Trolley at Girard Avenue.
The service could begin operating in six years.
"We appreciate both the input and cooperation of Mayor Nutter, Deputy Mayor Cutler and SEPTA. A direct connection between City Hall and the Philadelphia waterfront will serve as a catalyst for economic development as well as an added service for our customers," said PATCO Chairman, John H. Estey.

Public Meetings
 PATCO's latest round of public meetings, where public feedback was sought on the route alternatives, recently took place in Philadelphia on September 22 at the Friends Meeting House and September 30 at The Historical Society of Pennsylvania.
Input from our riders and those in the impacted communities was a highly valued component in the decision-making process.
