    CONTACT: Cara Schneider (215) 206-2034, [email protected] REASONS THE PHILADELPHIA REGION IS A MUST-VISIT THIS SPRING New Museum Opens On Independence Mall & Philadelphia Museum of Art Opens New Galleries As Part Of Major Renovation PHILADELPHIA, March 1, 2021 – As spring nears and COVID-19 restrictions continue to lift, the Philadelphia region is eager to welcome visitors to safely explore new, renovated and just-reopened museums; inspired exhibits; beloved annual events; and brand new hotels. Those looking to dip their toes back into travel after a long hiatus can explore the brand-new Faith and Liberty Discovery Center, making its debut on Independence Mall in May; check out the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s new galleries, part of a Frank Gehry-designed interior expansion and renovation; and take a special twilight tour of the haunting Eastern State Penitentiary, also hosting its first-ever beer garden in the baseball diamond. When it’s time to rest their tired feet after days spent touring the town, visitors can do so at the city’s first W Hotel or at the Guild House Hotel, a boutique property in a National Historic Landmark building, both opening in spring. Another great option for spending a night or two is the ever-popular Visit Philly Overnight Hotel Package, which includes hotel parking and buy-one-get-one-free tickets for 19 attractions, many of which are hosting special exhibits this spring (see below). It’s available at 40 hotels and bookable at visitphilly.com/overnight. Here’s a look at why Philadelphia is a must-visit this spring: Museum Openings & Renovations: • Independence Seaport Museum – The first day of spring brings with it the reopening of the Delaware River Waterfront museum focused on national maritime history.

Even with the new Comcast Tower topping out at 975 feet, overall office occupancy still climbed to 89%, as the expansion of existing firms and several new arrivals downtown pushed Class A rents up 14%. For the first time in 15 years, Center City increased its share of regional office space. Healthcare and educational institutions continued to attract students, patients and research dollars to downtown, while elementary schools experienced strong demand from the growing number of families in Center City with children. The Pennsylvania Convention Center expansion commenced and plans advanced for new hotels, as occupancy and room rates steadily climbed. On Independence Mall, the National Museum of American Jewish History started construction, while the Barnes Foundation retained designers for a new home on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Housing prices remained strong, rents steadily climbed and rental vacancy rates dropped to 4.6%, as new residents continued to flock to Center City. While the average condo sold for $428,596, 115 units sold in 2007 for more than $1 million, double the number in 2006.

  • Proposed Bridge Toll and PATCO Fare Schedules
    Proposed Bridge Toll and PATCO Fare Schedules July 2008 Dear DRPA and PATCO Customers: Thank you for your interest in the Delaware River Port Authority and Port Authority Transit Corporation. We appreciate the opportunity to present to you the proposed changes to the toll and fare structures. For the last several years, we have committed to cost-savings measures that have enabled us to operate without changes to our toll or fare structures. However, we now face a very challenging time as our future needs will require us to find additional revenue sources to fund our Capital Program which is critical to maintaining the safety, security and serviceability of our assets. We are confident that with the feedback received from you, our customers, we will be able to propose a plan to our Board of Commissioners that will enable us to face the challenges that lie ahead. We value your opinion and look forward to your comments and suggestions. Yours truly, John J. Matheussen Chief Executive Officer, Delaware River Port Authority President, Port Authority Transit Corporation The Delaware River Port Authority The Delaware River Port Authority of Pennsylvania and New Jersey is a regional transportation agency. DRPA’s lines of business, collectively called “the Authority,” operate under the motto “We Keep the Region Moving.” DRPA traces its roots back to 1919 when leaders from the two states began planning for a bridge across the Delaware River. That bridge, now known as the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, was once the longest suspension bridge in the world. Today, more than 80 years after its opening, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge remains a key transportation artery and a regional landmark.
