FY 2012 Capital Budget and FY 2012-2023 Capital Program - Septa

STATION ACCESSIBILITY
The Station Accessibility Program provides for the continuation of SEPTA’s efforts to improve accessibility at railroad and rail
transit stations. This program complements work of other accessibility efforts that are being advanced as part of other projects and
programs included in SEPTA's Capital Budget and Program. Currently, SEPTA provides 85 passenger elevators and serves 94 fully
accessible stations and 3 partially accessible stations (one direction only).
Accessibility improvements to 35 Federal Transit Administration-designated Key Stations were fully funded under the first phase
of this program. Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) approval is pending for accessibility improvements at the Chester
Transportation Center and Radnor Regional Rail Station. When these stations are complete, all Key Stations will be fully accessible.
The objective of this program is to further expand the network of accessible
stations. Additional stations were selected based on a number of factors, including
station ridership, intermodal connections, and proximity to identified disability
magnet sites as recommended by the SEPTA Advisory Committee for Accessible
Transportation (SAC). These stations include:
- Allegheny, Race-Vine, Erie & Snyder Stations on the Broad Street Line
- Margaret-Orthodox and 40 th Street Stations on the Market-Frankford Line
This project also provides for construction of an elevator at 15 th and Market
Street, and station platform improvements at Olney Station on the Broad Street
Subway Line.
Allegheny Station ADA Improvements
Allegheny Station improvements were completed in the 2 nd quarter of Calendar Year 2011. The design phase of the Margaret-
Orthodox Station was completed in the 1 st quarter of Calendar Year 2011. The Race-Vine improvements are underway and scheduled
for completion in the 4th quarter of Calendar Year 2013. Due to reduced capital funding, the construction phase of the Margaret-
Orthodox Station improvements and the advancement of the design phases for Erie, Snyder and 40 th Street Stations are deferred until
sufficient funds can be identified.
