Phase IV of this continuing project assessed non-motorized (pedestrian and bicycle) accessibility to five rail stations in the region. Three SEPTA Regional Rail stations (Bryn Mawr, Fox Chase, and Glenside), one SEPTA Broad Street Subway station (Erie), and one New Jersey Transit Atlantic City Line station (Atco) were analyzed using PLOS and BLOS model software. Field measurements and observations provided data for this analysis, which was supplemented by a qualitative examination of access conditions in the immediate vicinity of each station. A summary of recommended enhancements was prepared for each station, noting strategies that would address specific problem areas.

Geographic Area Covered: One quarter mile and one mile radii surrounding Atco, Bryn Mawr, Erie, Fox Chase, and Glenside rail stations.

Key Words: Atco Station, Bryn Mawr Station, Erie Station, Fox Chase Station, Glenside Station, New Jersey Transit Atlantic City Line, Pedestrian Level of Service (PLOS), Bicycle Level of Service (BLOS), Pedestrian Safety, Bicycle Safety, Pedestrian Compatibility, Bicycle Compatibility.
