A study is currently underway to possibly connect the Lehigh Valley to the NJ Transit with a rail system. Currently, there is no rail transportation from the area to NYC. The only public transportation in place for communters is a bus system.
With the high costs of fuel, many commuters are looking for public transportation to get to work. The park-and-ride lots are overcrowded. People end up parking on the grass and the edge of the road. Another type of public transportation to NYC is definitely needed.
A rail system would ease the overcrowded highways into the city and lessen the stress of the commute. The trip would also take less time with a rail system.
A rail system was considered years ago, but was rejected because there would not be enough commuters to make it worthwhile. With the population in the Lehigh Valley growing, signs seem to indicate that there is definitely a need for a rail system.
