DVRPC is helping Pottstown and its planning partners prepare for the potential return of passenger rail service by studying local conditions and exploring strategies designed to make the Charles W. Dickinson Transportation Center, the location where trains would stop, more accessible to all users.

You can help us by using this mapping tool to identify locations where improvements could make walking, biking, taking transit, or driving safer or more convenient.
