Trolley Modernization
Stations
About the Project
To make the system fully accessible, SEPTA will be acquiring new vehicles and building new, on-street trolley stations.
The new stations will provide a fully accessible and safe waiting area outside the flow of pedestrians on the sidewalks, bicycle lanes, parked cars, and moving vehicles. New elevators at tunnel stations will provide easy, accessible access to trolleys from the street level. Additionally, this is our opportunity to ensure that all trolley stations have amenities like benches, shelters, and real time arrival information.

Station Design Concepts
SEPTA has developed station design concepts built on input from more than 8,000 participants who provided feedback on what stations should include and how they can fit in with the communities SEPTA serves. To learn more, view the SEPTA Trolley Station Design Summary.
