King of Prussia Central
GVF was recently awarded a Travel Options Program (TOP) grant from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) to study and improve the King of Prussia Park & Ride. The goal is to explore how this site can better serve the public as a multimodal transportation hub, making it easier for people to connect to buses, carpools, and trails.
Originally developed in the late 1990s and early 2000s to reduce traffic congestion, Park & Ride lots were designed to give commuters a free, safe place to park and connect to transit or carpools. Since then, the King of Prussia Park & Ride has grown beyond its original purpose.
Today, this lot:
Is served by six different intercity bus companies (but not SEPTA)
Connects directly to the Chester Valley Trail, linking to Montgomery County and the Schuylkill River Trail
Serves as a carpool and long-term weekend parking location
Is occasionally used for equipment and vehicle storage by private companies
However, the site lacks key amenities. It currently has just one bus shelter, a few trash cans, and no public restrooms or buildings—which can make traveling by bus inconvenient or uncomfortable.
The lot is located near US 202, I-76, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and the Chester Valley Trail making it ideal for regional travel. It's an important connection point for people commuting by bus, carpool or vanpool, or biking and walking on the trail system.
An advisory committee has been formed to support this project. GVF and the committee will study the site and make recommendations for improvements—transforming the King of Prussia Park & Ride into a modern, accessible, and welcoming transportation hub that better supports commuters, travelers, and the surrounding community.
The advisory committee includes representatives from:
Congresswoman Scanlon’s office
Senator Cappelletti’s office
Representative Briggs’ office
