Glassboro–Camden Line

The Glassboro–Camden Line (GCL) is a planned 18-mile (29 km) diesel multiple unit (DMU) light rail system to be located in South Jersey.

[1][2] At the northern terminus, the Walter Rand Transportation Center in Camden, it will connect with the River Line with which its infrastructure and vehicles will be compatible, and paid transfers will be possible to the PATCO Speedline.

[5] In May 2009, New Jersey Governor Jon S. Corzine and the Delaware River Port Authority announced the project, which was expected to cost $1.8 billion and be completed in 2019.

While the Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA) was overseeing the $8.1 million environmental study, the agency had not agreed to build or run the line.

[8] This funding will cover preliminary engineering and design, project management, and professional services for the pre-construction phase of the light rail line.

[23] Other elements of network would include additions and adjustments to PATCO Speedline and Atlantic City Line and the development of new system of bus rapid transit in New Jersey.

[25] Travelling northwest, the two lines would converge to pass through downtown Camden, where transfers would be possible for other components of the network, including at the Walter Rand Transportation Center.

The Glassboro–Camden Line will use vehicles similar to those used currently in NJ Transit 's River Line .
