1 Moved into Top Six Ranking, in place of 5D and 5ETM by PTAC, to allow commuter rail that included light rail service to Zoo and City Branch destinations until more refined cost and ridership estimates are available.

2Moved into Top Six Ranking for same reasons as 1D, and because the electric version of commuter rail service may be more cost effective, if further analysis indicates that service over the entire distance to Wyomissing is not warranted.
