111005 | Conshohocken Garage (I-76 ICM) (Conshohocken Borough, Montgomery County)

This project will provide flex funds to be transferred to SEPTA for a new "smart" parking garage at SEPTA's Conshohocken Station which will increase parking availability by approximately 500 spaces and will leverage $22,000,000 of SEPTA capital funds for the station project on the Manayunk/Norristown Regional Rail Line. The garage and the information system to provide real time parking and travel information is one of the elements of improving multi-modal travel and mitigating congestion as part of the I-76 Integrated Corridor Management project (see MPMS # 106662 in the Interstate Management Program). Traffic studies and empirical evidence demonstrate the need to divert traffic on the Schuylkill Expressway between the PA Turnpike (I-276) to the west and US 1 to the east. Parking expansion at SEPTA's Conshohocken Regional Rail Station will enhance the opportunity to utilize Regional Rail service along this corridor and complement PennDOT's ongoing efforts to manage congestion on the Expressway.
