PATCO Marks Completion of Collingswood Station Elevator

First of 8 brand new elevators opens to the public

On Tuesday, April 16, 2019, PATCO held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of the first of eight new elevators.

The ceremony was held prior to the customer appreciation event at the Collingswood Station to celebrate PATCO’s 50th Anniversary.

PATCO General Manager John Rink and Collingswood Mayor Jim Maley joined forces to cut the red ribbon and officially open the Collingswood elevator.

Last year, construction began on a $31 million project to install elevators in all currently unequipped PATCO train stations. The Ashland, Haddonfield, Westmont and Collingswood Stations will each receive one elevator, while the City Hall and 12/13th & Locust Stations will have two elevators installed.

Upon completion in 2022, all 13 PATCO stations will be fully accessible to individuals with disabilities and those using wheelchairs, strollers, and bicycles.
