The Greater Philadelphia region is served by nearly every mode of public transit, from historic trolleys along Girard Avenue in Philadelphia to the Amtrak Keystone Corridor. This multimodal transit network is a tremendous asset. Supported by the Federal Transit Administration, PennDOT, NJDOT, and our county and local governments, DVRPC staff participate in a variety of transit planning work in coordination with or on behalf of our transit agency partners: SEPTA, NJ TRANSIT, and DRPA/PATCO. We support local transit planning efforts by collecting data, conducting studies, and identifying emerging national and international best practices.
Coordinated Human Services Transportation Planning
As the metropolitan planning organization, DVRPC is responsible for updating the region's Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan (CHSTP). The CHSTP seeks to improve economic and social opportunity in the region by expanding access to essential services for vulnerable populations–those who are more critically impacted by barriers and gaps in infrastructure, service coordination, and policies.
