The focus of the Complete Streets project is to make 3.2 miles of Route 291/U.S. 13 safer and easier for everyone to use. The project extends from Ridley Creek to Irving

Street. It aims to improve the five-lane road for motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and people who live nearby by slowing down traffic, making it easier and safer for people to cross the road, and adding a trail for walking and bicycling.

The Delaware County Transportation Management Association (DCTMA) is partnering with Clean Air Council and regional organizations on a project to improve transportation options at college campuses. Clean Air Council is seeking proposals from qualified transportation engineering and planning consultants to support this effort.

The selected consultant will study pedestrian, bicycle, and public transportation conditions at three colleges in Philadelphia, Delaware, and Bucks Counties. The goal is to identify ways to make traveling on and around campus safer, easier, and more accessible for students, faculty, and staff.

The work will include reviewing existing infrastructure, identifying safety and accessibility barriers, gathering input from campus stakeholders, and recommending improvements to transportation facilities, policies, and programs. Findings will help inform a University Toolkit for each participating college.

The project is supported by a Transportation Options Program (TOP) grant administered by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC), with funding from the Federal Highway Administration.
