DVRPC was asked by SEPTA to study the transit services accessible from Fern Rock Transportation Center, as well as the ways in which passengers access and move between these services. Drawing on a better understanding of how the facility is being used and might be used in the future, DVRPC was tasked with developing a conceptual station Master Plan that reflects a near- and long-term strategy for making improvements to Fern Rock Transportation Center in a coordinated way, with improvements prioritized based on identified passenger needs. This task was informed by two stages of engagement with SEPTA and City of Philadelphia staff: a design workshop/charrette, and an online tool that allowed stakeholders to comment on specific aspects of the draft designs. DVRPC developed multiple full-buildout options with estimated construction costs of roughly $46 million, as well as a recommended first phase with an estimated construction cost of roughly $5 million.Geographic Area Covered: City of Philadelphia
