SEPTA Stations Snow Removal and Maintenance Plan
Steady snowfall is expected to begin Friday morning and continue throughout the day; this latest winter storm could leave several inches of snow throughout the Philadelphia region & SEPTA service area. Beginning at 6 am, SEPTA in-house crews will pretreat targeted portions of the Regional Rail system to maintain safe and accessible conditions.
Snow removal contractors will be deployed at 2 pm to clear and salt Regional Rail and NHSL platforms and parking lots for the duration of this winter storm. SEPTA crews will work in tandem to clear and treat crosswalks, stairways, walkways to parking lots and other areas as needed throughout the rest of the SEPTA system.
Forecasted Snowfall May Impact AM/PM Commutes
The 180 Regional Rail & NHSL stations span an area of 280 miles; even with multiple crews hard at work, it takes up to 12 hours to clear the entire system. SEPTA encourages everyone to be patient and exercise caution as we work to make all platforms, walkways and parking lots clear, safe and accessible.
The storm may cause delays to your morning and evening commute; please allow for additional travel time so that you arrive safely. If possible, use the Broad Street and Market-Frankford lines, which may be your best options during severe winter storms.
