Our Core Purpose
At the heart of the RIVERLINE COMMUNITIES COLLABORATIVE is a powerful belief: Every community deserves the opportunity to thrive, connect, and shape its future. We see the RiverLINE corridor not merely as a transit route but as a vibrant artery of possibility—an underutilized urban network that, when reimagined, can foster economic prosperity, environmental resilience, and deep social connection. We believe that by uniting diverse voices and resources, we can transform this corridor into a catalyst for lasting change.
The RIVERLINE COMMUNITIES COLLABORATIVE will function as a convener and facilitator, bringing together municipalities, transit agencies, regional planning organizations, businesses, and community groups to create a unified regional vision. By bridging gaps in planning, championing environmental stewardship, supporting sustainable economic development, and advocating for equitable access to transit and public spaces, we empower communities to shape their own futures for all who live, work, and travel along the RiverLINE corridor.
Towards a Connected Corridor
We envision the RiverLINE corridor as a dynamic, equitable, and resilient region—where thriving communities coexist with healthy riverfront landscapes and robust local economies.
Rooted in its rich history and cultural diversity, the corridor will be a model for sustainable, transit-oriented development—connecting people to opportunity, fostering vibrant public spaces, and preserving the ecological integrity of the Delaware River landscape.
Transit will tie these elements together, but our true measure of success is a corridor where environmental health, economic opportunity, and community well-being are mutually reinforced—driving innovation, prosperity, and a shared sense of place for generations to come.
