Information for Spouses or Partners: CTCA in Philadelphia
The East Coast’s accessibility alone makes Philadelphia attractive. In addition to all of the top employers within the city itself, your spouse or partner will discover other, nearby markets in which he or she can search for jobs. For example, many Philly residents cross the Delaware River every weekday, by way of boat or automobile, to work in such cities as Camden or Cherry Hill, New Jersey. From May through September, there’s the RiverLink Ferry to and fro Camden’s waterfront. Two ways to cross the river from Philly to the Garden State are by bridge on either Interstate 76 or Interstate 676/U.S. 30.
Furthermore, some people even go the distance to commute to New York City via the train (approximately a 90-minute ride).
