Marple Township is a Township located in Delaware County, in the U.S. state of Philadelphia. Founded in 1684 by Quaker settlers, the township is located just a few miles west of downtown Philadelphia, the largest city in the state and one of the largest in the country. Marple currently has a population of over 23,400 residents and is a primary suburb of Philadelphia, which places it firmly within the Delaware Valley Metropolitan Statistical Area, which Philadelphia anchors. It is heavily residential, with only a few scattered retail outlets, though as it is located so close to Philadelphia, most residents simply shop in the city or in other townships nearby.

Auto Transport Tips to and from Marple Township
Marple Township sits just outside Philadelphia, which makes it a heck of a lot easier to get into and out of for car shippers. What’s nice is that Philadelphia sits close to the eastern seaboard, and since auto transport companies prefer to run routes that include major cities and metropolitan areas they’re going to be able to get into and out of Marple relatively easily, and likely at a good price for the route they’re running considering how popular of a shipping location Philadelphia and the surround metro area is. This bodes well not just for your prices, but tends to make pickup faster since more carriers will be willing to take the load.
Marple is even easier to get into and out of thanks to I-476, an auxiliary interstate of I-76 that stretches north from its spur off I-76 in east Marple Township through Allentown and up into Scranton. What’s important to note is that I-476 connects I-95, I-76, I-78, I-80, and I-81 – this is a ridiculous number of interstates to connect to and gives auto transport companies servicing the state a lot of different ways to get around. Since they can utilize I-476 to get to a lot of different areas within a pretty short span of time, they can charge less per load while still making plenty of money for their time.
