SEPTA Ending Free Regional Rail Parking In Philly Region

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —SEPTA Regional Rail commuters in the Philadelphia region will soon have to pay for parking once again.

SEPTA has announced that it would end free parking that was established since the pandemic at its parking lots where regional rail service is offered.

"During our budget hearings last month, we stated that we would return to paid parking at our lots at some point during the upcoming fiscal year," said Andrew Busch, SEPTA's director of media relations.

Busch said that no date has been set yet to end the free parking.

He said that once the date is established, there will be an extensive public outreach campaign beforehand to make sure riders have notice and can plan for it.
