Route 3 Corridor Study

Feasibility Study & Implementation Plan for Transit Signal Priority along Rt.3/West Chester Pike

In an effort to increase the number of SEPTA riders, improve service quality, and alleviate traffic congestion along the West Chester Pike (PA Route 3) corridor in Delaware County, we administered a Transit Signal Priority (TSP) Feasibility study. The goal of the study was to identify opportunities for TSP and outline an implementation plan that defines action items, a phasing order, costs, and potential funding sources. Stakeholders in this effort are PennDOT, SEPTA, DVRPC, the Delaware County Planning Department, and municipalities along the corridor. Jacobs Engineering were hired as consultant to complete the study and provide recommendations.
