CAMDEN, N.J. — South Jersey Transit Partners, a joint venture of infrastructure consulting firm AECOM and architectural and enginerering company STV Inc., will handle preliminary engineering and design and project management for the Glassboro-Camden Line light rail project.
The 18-mile, 14-station project is being managed by the Delaware River Port Authority with NJ Transit and the South Jersey Transportation Authority as partners. The project, estimated to cost up to $1.8 billion, will restore passenger service along an existing rail line, using diesel multiple-unit light rail trainsets similar to NJ Transit’s River Line. No date for the start of operations has been projected; the project website says preliminary engineering, pre-construction activities, and construction will take approximately six years.
“The GCL is an important initiative to improve mobility by offering quick, reliable, and frequent rail service to the region,” Bane Gaiser, chief executive of AECOM’s U.S. East and Latin America region, said in a press release. “Our SJTP joint venture is incredibly proud to continue our crucial work, leveraging our deep understanding of the GCL’s objectives, the project’s scope, stakeholder engagement, and public needs to successfully deliver a transportation option that will have a positive impact on the day-to-day lives of South Jerseyans.”
