The Walter Rand Transportation Center is a transportation hub located at Martin Luther King Boulevard and Broadway in Camden, New Jersey, named for Walter Rand, a former New Jersey State Senator, who specialized in transportation issues while serving in both houses of the New Jersey Legislature. The transit center features a station for the River Line and the Broadway Station for the PATCO Speedline.
The transit center opened on March 15, 2004, and was built on top of the existing PATCO Broadway Station, which opened as one of the four original stations on the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Bridge Line on June 7, 1936, and had a connection to the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines. The station was later acquired by PATCO. Southbound service from the station via the River Line is available to the Camden Waterfront. Northbound service is available to the Trenton Rail Station with connections to New Jersey Transit trains to New York City, SEPTA trains to Philadelphia, and Amtrak trains. Westbound service via PATCO is available to Philadelphia and eastbound service is available to Lindenwold with connecting service via NJ Transit trains to Atlantic City.
