US422 Corridor Master Plan
Posted on | June 23, 2010 |
The US422 Corridor Master Plan Draft-Final document was released in December 2009. This planning effort, led by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC), provides a unified framework and vision for land use and multi-modal transportation planning to address rapid population and employment and heightened traffic congestion experienced within the 24 contiguous municipalities along the 422 Corridor.
The Plan is intended to:
- Improve the safety and efficiency of the area’s transportation system by analyzing the condition of the network
- Identify mobility needs throughout the corridor
- Strengthen the linkage between land use and transportation
Throughout the months of June and July 2010, staffs from DVRPC, Montgomery County, and Chester County are presenting key recommendations related to both land use and transportation to municipalities within the study area.

422plus Project

Efficient mobility in the 422 Corridor is essential for current and future employment, economic development opportunities, and quality of life; however, traditional sources of funding will not adequately ensure that mobility.
Funding for transportation infrastructure, both highway and transit, is currently a critical issue at the federal, state, and local level, and the 422 Corridor is directly impacted by this crisis. According to a press release from DVRPC (May 4, 2010), many transportation projects are now being deferred throughout our region, including $200 million of improvements to the 422 Corridor. Montgomery, Chester, and Berks Counties have come together on the 422plus Project to consider new ways to fund much-needed improvements to our aging highway and transit systems within the 422 Corridor.
The 422plus Project Team is currently developing the traffic model and analyzing transportation improvement options. Project updates and public outreach opportunities are expected in late 2010.
