SEPTA CEO and General Manager Leslie Richards said the fees will offset parking lot maintenance costs and generate revenue “in the midst of a funding crisis.”
“We understand how increasing fees could impact riders, but we hope they will still see public transit as an overall value – saving time and money compared to driving a vehicle,” Richards said.
You will be able to pay for parking fees by using the SEPTA Park app, kiosks, or via text message.
SEPTA said it will have ‘ambassadors’ on-site to answer questions.
Parking Enforcement Officers will read license plates using vehicle-mounted cameras, SEPTA said, and violations or warnings will be issued for illegally parked vehicles.
