SEPTA recently opened a newly renovated 30th Street Station, which has been renamed “Drexel Station at 30th Street.” The transformed station has a doubled capacity and features more seamless transportation connections. The station is served by the Market-Frankford Line (now identified by the letter “L” in signage), five Trolley lines (“T”), the LUCY Loop, and Bus Routes 9, 30, 31, 44, 78, 124, 125, and is across the street from Amtrak’s 30th Street Station.

Drexel Station at 30th Street is part of the Schuylkill Yards development, a multi-phase project by Brandywine Realty Trust. Extensive renovations were completed as part of the station reconstruction project to better integrate the station into Drexel Square and the broader Schuylkill Yards district.

Improvements include:

• New glass headhouse and canopy;

• Upgraded elevators, escalators and stairs to improve accessibility;

• Modernized and expanded mezzanine with enhanced lighting and improvements to connections between transit services;

• New flooring and tiling.

SEPTA collaborated with Drexel University and other community stakeholders throughout the project. The project was funded in part through a $15 million U.S. Department of Transportation grant and $34.2 million in Pennsylvania Department of Transportation funding.

Drexel Station at 30th Street is the first station to debut SEPTA’s “Metro Wayfinding Program,” which features the new station signage.
