An analysis of key passenger movement between the three regional mass transit providers (New Jersey Transit, PATCO, & SEPTA), informed by Census Journey to Work data, identified Philadelphia transfer facilities which are key to large numbers of transfers. A field survey of the passenger transfer experience at these key transfer nodes resulted in recommendations for low capital improvements to enhance service coordination. Elements which were identified as being significant to interagency transfers and consequently explored in the report were signage, color coding/branding, the distance and physical connection between the lines, and fare instruments & policies.
