SEPTA, local officials, and community members gathered earlier today to celebrate the improvements made to Exton Station with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, according to a report from the Daily Local News.

Present for the ceremony were:

• Terry Garcia-Crews, Federal Transit Administration Region 3 Administrator
• George W. McAuley Jr., PennDOT Executive Deputy Secretary
• State Sen. Andy Dinniman
• State Rep. Kristine Howard
• Marian Moskowitz, Chair of the Chester County Commissioners
• Theresa Santulucia, Vice Chairwoman of West Whiteland Township Supervisors

The goal of the Exton Station Reconstruction Project was to upgrade the station in line with the Americans with Disabilities Act. This was achieved by installing high-level boarding platforms that let customers enter or exit any train car without using any steps. The project has also improved the service for all passengers as it has reduced the wait times at the station.

The project was a coordinated effort that received funding from Act 89 of 2013, which supports transportation infrastructure improvement projects throughout the state.
