Project Overview

The Port Authority Transit Corporation (PATCO), a subsidiary of The Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA), evaluated the need and potential for expanded rapid transit service to Gloucester, Camden, Cumberland and portions of Atlantic and Salem Counties via and Alternatives Analysis Study that was completed in the fall of 2009.  This is a continuation of a previous feasibility study completed in 2005 which strongly endorsed pursuing increased rail transit options in this corridor to address transportation and mobility needs.  Presently, the study has advanced into the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) phase that began in early 2010.  The purpose of this project is to improve transit service along the Glassboro to Camden corridor in Southern New Jersey with a focus on increasing mobility and improving links between the established communities and activity centers. 

Envision Consultants, Ltd.’s portion of these studies is in the role of public involvement.  Envision is responsible for the following responsibilities: development of the project website and electronic project updates; creation of informational material (newsletters, flyers, video, public notices); creation and maintenance of stakeholder database; support of project meetings; media relations; dissemination and coordination of technical advisory meetings; and elected officials meetings, stakeholders meetings and public meetings.
