Draft Purpose and Need Statement July 2, 2013
Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Increased Transit Service to King of Prussia, PA Draft Purpose and Need Statement July 2, 2013 Draft Purpose and Need Statement This document identifies the deficiencies in the existing transportation system and the transportation needs arising from these deficiencies, and it explains the purpose of the project in the study area of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for increased transit service to King of Prussia, PA. The Purpose and Need Statement is the foundation of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) planning process. It provides the rationale and justification for undertaking a major federal investment and forms the basis for the range of alternatives to be studied in a NEPA document. The Purpose and Need embodies transportation conditions that are observable and data‐supported, as well as problems and needs articulated by the public and stakeholders. Public and stakeholder input regarding problems and needs contained in this draft will occur during the informal scoping meetings, formal NEPA Scoping Meetings for the DEIS, through the development of the DEIS, and during the formal comment period on the DEIS. In this Purpose and Need Statement, the purpose of the proposed action is stated, the deficiencies in the existing transportation system and the foreseeable long‐term consequences of these deficiencies are documented, and the needs arising from these deficiencies and supporting the purpose assertions are described. The Purpose and Need Statement serves as a cornerstone for the development and evaluation of alternatives. 1.1 Purpose of the Project The purposes of the proposed project are to provide faster, more reliable, public transit service that: • Offers improved transit connections to King of Prussia/Valley Forge area from communities along the existing Norristown High Speed Line, Norristown and Philadelphia; • Improves connectivity between major destinations within the King of Prussia/Valley Forge area; and • Better serves existing transit riders and accommodates new transit patrons.
