NJ TRANSIT TO HOST PUBLIC INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS ON WALTER RAND TRANSPORTATION CENTER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT

Virtual and In-Person Meetings Will Unveil Preliminary Design Concepts and Gather Feedback On Major Improvements To Walter Rand Transportation Center

November 13, 2024

CAMDEN, NJ – NJ TRANSIT will host virtual and in-person informational sessions as it unveils preliminary design concepts for a new, modern Walter Rand Transportation Center (WRTC) in Camden.  The design concepts are based on previous public input sessions where suggestions and comments were taken.  The Murphy Administration has committed $250 million to upgrade and enlarge the facility. NJ TRANSIT representatives will disseminate information about the project to attendees, and also allocate time for public comment sessions. 

The virtual meeting will be held at 3 p.m. on Thursday, November 14, the in-person meeting will take place on November 14 as well at 6 p.m. at the Cooper Medical School of Rowan University located at 401 South Broadway, Camden, NJ. Registration can be completed by phone or e-mail.

To register for the in-person session by phone or e-mail, call (856) 757-9154 or send an e-mail to [email protected]. FREE parking will be available in the adjacent parking garage directly behind the Medical School located at 520 Benson Street, Camden, NJ.

The WRTC is envisioned to be replaced and expanded to accommodate growth throughout Camden County. The project would ultimately replace the existing facility with an expanded multi-purpose transit center that will provide an improved link for transportation in South Jersey. The new center would better accommodate the 24 bus lines that serve the facility; provide improved intermodal connectivity with the PATCO Speedline subway and the River LINE light rail; support intercity independent bus services; and provide additional parking, administrative offices, and value capture retail opportunities to the adjacent growing educational and healthcare corridor. It would also provide an opportunity for integration with zero-emissions buses.
