Agency to create a special task force to further study safety and security during the owl hours

LINDENWOLD, NJ – PATCO announced today that it is canceling the planned changes to its owl service.

"I want to thank the public for their feedback and particularly Mayors Teague, Rochford, and Maley," said John T. Hanson, DRPA CEO and PATCO President. "PATCO continues to study security concerns during the owl hours and I am creating a special task force led by DRPA Police Captain George Bollendorf to make recommendations about security on the owl service."

PATCO will continue to operate the schedule currently in effect since April 15.
