PATCO is interested in expanding service in Philadelphia down Columbus Blvd and potentially to City Hall as well! These waterfront projects would rely on federal funding and would probably be eight to 10 years away. PATCO hopes to work with SEPTA on these projects so that they don't have to compete for federal money. Also, they would be able to use the different strengths of each agency to make these products work.
