Project DetailsR6 Extension Project
The "R6 Norristown Service Line Extension Study" was released by the Montgomery County Planning Commission on Feb 20, 2009 for public comment. The study addressses the feasibility of restoring passenger rail service to the US 422 Corridor. As part of the study, multiple streams of revenue for funding the rail service are recommended. One of the recommendations is for open road tolling on US 422 to fund roadway improvements, and rail service. This has prompted Montgomery County to pursue a "Traffic and Revenue Study" to further investigate the needed steps to raising funds for the rail service.
