Title:

Making Last-Mile Connectors Work: The Key to Adapting Regional Rail to Suburban Employment Centers

Accession Number:

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

SEPTA Route 201 was the first of a series of a private-public partnerships intended to cost-effectively extend public transportation to serve suburban employment centers. Local “last-mile” shuttle services can extend the reach of a traditional radial rail network and attract “reverse-peak” (city-to-suburb) and intrasuburban commuters. It requires comprehensive (“holistic”) approach to planning and operations that encompasses every aspect of the journey across agency, institutional and modal boundaries.
