7. Alternatives to Buses on I-76: SEPTA Rail feeder Bus Study
The study analyzed the feasibility of reconfiguring eight bus routes that operate on the Schuylkill Expressway (I-76) to act as feeders to SEPTA's rail system in the corridor.

Bus and rail passenger estimates, capital improvements needs, and operational requirements were determined through the study.
