PATCO Announces Gloucester County Expansion

WOODBURY, N.J. (AP) ― New Jersey officials say they're going to bring a new commuter light-rail service to the Philadelphia suburbs.

Delaware River Port Authority CEO John Matheussen says the line would run from Camden to Glassboro, making stops in several towns -- including on or near the campus of Rowan University.

He says the cost will be around $1.5 billion. The state has committed more than $500 million from two transportation funds. It's not yet clear where the rest would come from.

Matheussen says construction could begin in 2010 or 2011, and the line could be carrying passengers as early as 2014.

Gov. Jon Corzine was scheduled to make the announcement, but he was running late, so other officials went ahead without him.
