Overview
Philadelphia has the best commuter rail infrastructure in North America. Our Regional Rail program will make investments that make Regional Rail more useful to more people, guided by the roadmap outlined in our upcoming Master Plan, Reimagining Regional Rail, and in our Reliability Improvement Plan.
This program can transform mobility and opportunity for the region and reimagine the way Regional Rail serves Greater Philadelphia. The future of Regional Rail is frequent, all-day and all-week.
Vision and Goals
SEPTA is pursuing a program of investments to facilitate frequent, all-day, and all-week services that:
Are easy to ride and easy to understand:
Prioritizing an intuitive rider experience, improved wayfinding and more simplified fares and clockface schedules will create a seamless, welcoming SEPTA system.
Are frequent and reliable:
New stations with high level platforms, new vehicles, and better staffing will create a more frequent, reliable, and predictable Regional Rail system that people can trust.
Are integrated with SEPTA Metro and bus:
Removing transfer fees and integrating fares between Regional Rail and other SEPTA services can create more opportunities to transfer between bus and rail transit increasing access to more destinations
