About DVARP

Working in the interests of present and potential railroad, trolley and other transit passengers.
Concerned with southeastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and other areas in or near the Delaware Valley.
Informing our members of transportation issues through our highly praised monthly newsletter. No regional/state passenger rail advocacy group offers a publication which exceeds in quantity, quality and, certainly, value. It describes official plans, analyzes changes and needs for change, surveys new ideas, and brings out important but obscured facts.

Retention of service -- Transit is an environmentally sound and most often a cost-effective way of moving people and combating automobile congestion. However, all too often, uninformed decision-makers in Harrisburg, Trenton and Washington are putting the squeeze on SEPTA, NJ Transit, PATCO and Amtrak.
Improvement of service -- With the proper direction, much can be done to enhance speed, reliability, passenger comfort, and operational efficiencies.
Expansion of service -- Bethlehem, Mt. Holly, Churchman's Crossing, Glassboro, Newtown, Pottstown, Quakertown, Reading, West Chester and Woodbury all need passenger rail service, and trolley service needs to expand in Philadelphia.
