County, state, and federal agencies are committed to keeping Montgomery County's highway network moving. Multi-million-dollar improvements projects are currently underway on Routes 309, 202, and I-76, and will continue until 2001. To assist in unnecessary gridlock, the County's two Transportation Management Associations (TMA) are working with area firms on a host of transit initiatives, including corporate ride-sharing programs, shuttle services, and park-and-ride programs. One such initiative involves establishing slip ramps off of the heavily trafficked Pennsylvania Turnpike at selected business parks. These slip ramps would be equipped with special transmitters, allowing cars to be recognized at the exit. Tolls for these vehicles would then be collected electronically, shortening the commute for many drivers, and reducing tollbooth congestion for others.

Montgomery County has an efficient, affordable commuter rail service provided by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA). SEPTA's "Main Line" trains serve the southern portion of the County with more than 80 trains a day making the run back forth to Center City Philadelphia. Other SEPTA lines provide extensive commuter-rail throughout the entire eastern half of the County. The Norristown Line connects the county seat with Philadelphia via Conshohocken; the Lansdale-Doylestown Line serves the North Penn area with stops at Gwynedd Valley, Ambler, and Ft. Washington en route to Center City. All SEPTA commuter trains make scheduled stops at Philadelphia's 30th Street Station, where riders can connect with intercity passenger service - including New York-to-Washington Metroliner service - provided by Amtrak.

If the trains don't go where you want to go, the buses do. All of Montgomery County's major population centers and major highways are served by quick, dependable SEPTA buses operating from numerous terminals in the County. Additionally, SEPTA operates a heavily traveled trolley route form its Norristown terminal to Upper Darby in Delaware County, via Villanova, Bryn Mawr, and Haverford. This so-called Route 100 trolley connects in Upper Darby with Philadelphia's Market-Frankford subway-elevated line.
