DVRPC FY2019-2022 TIP for PA DVRPC FY2019-2022 TIP for PA Final Version Pennsylvania - Transit Program (Status: TIP) PennDOT MPMS# 93586 Downingtown Train Station Rehabilitation LIMITS: No Let Date IMPROVEMENT Transit Improvements NHPP: MUNICIPALITIES: Downingtown Borough FC: AQ Code:2025M PLAN CENTER: Town Center IPD: 16 PROJECT MANAGER: CMP: Not SOV Capacity Adding CMP Subcorridor(s): 7E A new Downingtown Station will be constructed at a location that is less than half a mile east of the existing station on State Route 322/ Brandywine Avenue on a section of tangent track in Downingtown Borough, as a result of the Alternative Analysis conducted by PennDOT with Amtrak, SEPTA, and local communities in 2013. The proposed new station will continue to serve Amtrak and SEPTA train service, will be ADA accessible, and will provide 500 foot long high level boarding platforms, approximately 850–950 parking spaces, bicycle and pedestrian access, site lighting and security. The existing station is an enclosed shelter with a low level platform, has 360 parking spaces, and is not ADA accessible. The details of the site configuration will continue to develop as PennDOT works towards the goal of creating a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) with a developer to be determined. The Downingtown Station is a component of the Keystone Corridor rail service between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. Sharing some of the operating characteristics of the Northeast Corridor (NEC) main line, the Amtrak-owned and operated Philadelphia-Harrisburg segment (104 miles) is a mature passenger corridor, with frequent intercity trains (14 Amtrak round trips per average workday, which operate on the NEC beyond Philadelphia to New York from Harrisburg) and SEPTA commuter trains for part of the route between Downingtown and Philadelphia. There are 22 Amtrak stops and 42 SEPTA stops per weekday at the Downingtown Station. Amtrak ridership numbers for the station are 61,435 riders (FY14-15). This line has multiple tracks, full electrification, and grade separation from the highway grid.

Panko CMP: The goal of this project is to address functionally obsolete rail infrastructure at the Zoo Interlocking and bring the facility into a state of good repair. The project will improve performance on a highly utilized segment of the Keystone Corridor providing service to over 35,000 passenger trains and 8.4 million people each year. These improvements will provide benefits to passengers by increasing maximum operating speeds from 30 mph to 80 mph, resulting in a time savings of 70 seconds per trip, increased operational flexibility and service reliability, and improved ride quality. The project consists of the following improvements: •Slope stabilization, including the construction of two new retaining walls; •State of good repair improvements to track two (through track) to create a continuous through track for westbound trains with new concrete ties and continuous welded rail, grading and drainage upgrades, and modifications to existing overhead catenary systems (OCS); and •Track reconfiguration and state of good repair improvements on the western end of the interlocking to eliminate seven unnecessary diverging movements with the removal of one turnout, construction of new track, and various signal and OCS improvements.

    Created in 1965, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is an interstate, intercounty and intercity agency that provides continuing, comprehensive and coordinated planning to shape a vision for the future growth of the Delaware Valley region. The region includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties, as well as the City of Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Mercer counties in New Jersey. DVRPC provides technical assistance and services; conducts high priority studies that respond to the requests and demands of member state and local governments; fosters cooperation among various constituents to forge a consensus on diverse regional issues; determines and meets the needs of the private sector; and practices public outreach efforts to promote two-way communication and public awareness of regional issues and the Commission. Our logo is adapted from the official DVRPC seal, and is designed as a stylized image of the Delaware Valley. The outer ring symbolizes the region as a whole, while the diagonal bar signifies the Delaware River. The two adjoining crescents represent the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey. DVRPC is funded by a variety of funding sources including federal grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Pennsylvania and New Jersey departments of transportation, as well as by DVRPC’s state and local member governments. The authors, however, are solely responsible for its findings and conclusions, which may not represent the official views or policies of the funding agencies. DVRPC fully complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and related statutes and regulations in all programs and activities.

  • NEC Capital Investment Plan
    Northeast Corridor Capital Investment Plan Fiscal Years 2020-2024 March 2019 (amended July 2020) Congress established the Northeast Corridor Commission to develop coordinated strategies for improving the Northeast’s core rail network in recognition of the inherent challenges of planning, financing, and implementing major infrastructure improvements that cross multiple jurisdictions. The expectation is that by coming together to take collective responsibility for the NEC, these disparate stakeholders will achieve a level of success that far exceeds the potential reach of any individual organization. The Commission is governed by a board comprised of one member from each of the NEC states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland) and the District of Columbia; four members from Amtrak; and five members from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).

This document describes the service proposals suggested by the general public, government agencies, elected officials and Authority staff, and presents the technical and financial analyses that determine whether the proposals merit implementation. The Plan includes projects for City Transit and Suburban Transit. There are no proposals for Regional Rail. This year marks the 19th Annual Service Plan and its associated planning process. This and the previous efforts reflect SEPTA’s ongoing commitment to improve the performance and productivity of transit routes and regional rail lines through careful measurement of both ridership changes and operating cost based upon a numeric scoring methodology. This method, fully described for each proposal, includes measures for revenues, operating costs, and impacts to existing riders. Additionally, each proposal must meet minimum performance standards, adopted by the SEPTA Board, prior to review within the service plan process.
