Douglas Carney • Senior Vice President, The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia

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.

Julia M.

This would be SUCH a benefit to all of us that have to drive the turnpike each day. In addition to savings in gas and wear and tear on our cars, it would benefit all of us emotionally to be able to ride the train again. Our company left Center City where I worked at 2000 Market St. for 8 years, and took the train every day. Now I have to drive each day and it can be very stressful. I can only imagine the benefit to all the businesses around this area that would benefit from a project like this. I am very much for this project.

Michele M.

I feel like this [KOP Rail] would help the community greatly! A lot of people can utilize rail for going to and from work, as well as coming to different communities for shopping and helping local economies.

King of Prussia District strongly endorses SEPTA’s King of Prussia Rail. This critical infrastructure investment will provide a much needed alternate mode of travel to the largest employment and commercial center in the suburban Philadelphia region

Eric Goldstein • Executive Director, King of Prussia District

I strongly support investing in multi-modal transportation efforts like the Norristown High Speed Line extension and theconnector. Efforts like these, if done right, are critical to long-term economic vitality and job growth in the region.

State Representative Tim Briggs • Member, State Transportation Committee
