Chester County: suburbs, farms, and the Keystone Corridor
Chester County's safety-sensitive workforce is unusually varied. On one side there's the US-202 technology and distribution belt around West Chester and Malvern; on the other, the agricultural hauling economy around Kennett Square and Oxford, where produce and mushroom freight moves on tight daily schedules. Running through the middle is Amtrak's Keystone Corridor and SEPTA's Paoli/Thorndale line, with FRA- and FTA-covered employees. Different employers, different modes — one federal return-to-duty process, and one telehealth appointment to start it.
