SEPTA has hired a private firm to provide security at its major transit facilities, beginning March 22.
SEPTA has an agreement with the Philadelphia Police Department to immediately begin periodic checks of our stations and vehicles 24 hours a day, with an increase presence at key stations during school dismissal between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. and during rush hour.
SEPTA has also notified the area police departments who cover the SEPTA transit system region-wide, including Temple, Upper Darby, Amtrak, University of Pennsylvania and PATCO.
