WTC EXISTING CONDITIONS

  • 11 SEPTA bus routes currently use WTC
  • Important for various types of travel; local trips, express trips (via

I-76), circulator, reverse commuting

  • 7,165 combined boards/alights per weekday by recent counts
  • Space limitations and high volumes of passengers lead to

significant pedestrian contacts and collisions at WTC

  • Disproportionate to the facility size and ridership
  • More daily activity than all but one non-Center City Regional Rail
