92182 | Expressway Service Patrol 13-16 Suburban Counties (Various)

This project is a breakout of MPMS# 88616, and will operate in the suburban counties of Bucks, Chester , Delaware, and Montgomery as part of the Expressway Service Patrol contract for an additional two years. The program will provide for the operation of emergency service patrols on congested state highways to detect and clear incidents rapidly by providing emergency assitance to stranded motorists. Approximately half of all delays experienced by highway users in congested areas are caused by traffic accidents, vehicle breakdowns, and other incidents. Prompt incident management programs such as this, can reduce delay's significantly. Service will be provided on 50 linear miles including: I-76 from Philadelphia to PA Turnpike; I-95 from the New Jersey State Line to the Bucks County line; I-476 from I-95 to the PA Turnpike; US Route 202 from I-76 to US 30; US Route 422 from Route 202 to
Royersford; PA 309 from PA 63 to Easton Road; and US 30 from Business Route 30 to PA 10.
A separate contract for the Philadelphia Expressway Service Patrol (MPMS #91490) is currently programmed on the DVRPC TIP and utilizes federal funding.
