I strongly support the King of Prussia Rail.  It is a fantastic way to help more people reach their potential jobs as well as helping the traffic problems around KOP.  Please do whatever is needed to make this very necessary extension a reality.

This [KOP Rail] is SO needed in this area for both residents and clients!

When talking about return on investment (ROI), it’s hard to make a better case for public investment than King of Prussia Rail. The line would link major areas of growth in the region while alleviating serious and worsening traffic conditions in Upper and Lower Merion as well as all along the I-76 corridor. As a Lower Merion resident who drives to KOP and uses the Norristown High Speed Line, I can vouch for the positive effect this rail extension will have for communities outside of Upper Merion.

As someone who lived around King of Prussia for most of my adolescent and adult life, and who has based all my housing decisions around public transportation availability, I would find it hard to overstate the importance of rail access to the King of Prussia mall area. I feel that it would be extremely beneficial economically, and would contribute to making the township more of a town and less of a transient site of commerce.

As a rail historian and potential customer, I wholeheartedly support the extension of the High Speed Line into King of Prussia to reduce congestion on I-76 into Center City.

Public transportation is going to become more and more necessary as population in urban areas continues to grow. Many people are without vehicular transportation, and for them it is absolutely crucial. For example, I have a daughter who is unable to drive. It also really matters to seniors. Now that regional rail is inexpensive due to my senior status, I would never think of driving into central Philadelphia, bucking traffic jams, time uncertainties, and parking issues. Making major points accessible by public transport is urgent! *And* extending a rail line along 422 would also be extremely beneficial. Greater ease for Ursinus students to go into the larger community would be one positive outcome. Allowing more people in outlying areas to get to central Philadelphia without driving would be another. I consider this a hugely important project.
