Seven different SEPTA regional rail stations which currently offer free parking will now start charging, the transit authority confirmed.

The changes will impact parking lots at the Woodbourne, Levittown, Miquon, Ivy Ridge, Conshohocken, Wissahickon, and Levittown stations, SEPTA spokesperson Andrew Busch told Patch.

SEPTA already charges for parking at all of its other regional rail lots. The seven lots have a combined total of 1,500 available spots.

The changes will likely be in place by the middle of 2019 and will be introduced alongside the widespread implementation of SEPTA's Key card.

"It's part of the modernization of the system, bringing some uniformity to the parking throughout the system," Busch added.
