This project analyzes options and identifies preferred designs for a new transportation center in Independence National Historical Park. The Independence Transportation Center will be part of a planned National Constitution Center at Independence Mall. To determine the best type of facility, Volpe analyzed the consequences of each individual option, including capacity enhancement, safety, passenger quality, operational difficulty, impact on pedestrians, and visitor and environmental impacts. Capital and operational costs are discussed in detail before recommendations are presented.
