The project is not recommended for federal New Starts funding in Fiscal Year 2024, and SEPTA will use resources that had been allocated for KOP Rail to bolster essential infrastructure work. On Friday, March 17, SEPTA announced on its website that the project had not been recommended for New Starts funding in fiscal year 2024: “SEPTA is pausing the King of Prussia project following further review of rising costs, which have been exacerbated by inflation and high interest rates. The FTA has now weighed in, and it KO’d KOP Rail. 25, 2021, I questioned whether an expensive line to sprawl and a mall in an area already well-served by buses was a wise use of available funds, or would another project be more useful. Transit officials have backed it for decades, off and on, while some advocates have pushed it and others criticized it sharply, while not always agreeing on the reason for doing so. It’s the King of Prussia Rail Project (KOP Rail), a light rail line that would have branched westward from the existing Norristown High-Speed Line, which runs between West Philadelphia and Norristown and collects power through a third rail.
