Public Transportation
Philadelphia's mass transit system is SEPTA, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transport Authority.
SEPTA operates a coordinated system of bus, subway, elevated train, and trolley lines that covers all of Philadelphia and parts of the surrounding counties. Penn is well-served by an extensive network of SEPTA public transit stops—never more than a five-minute walk from any part of the campus. To learn more about getting around, visit the SEPTA Travel Center in the Penn Bookstore. In addition to providing help navigating SEPTA, the center offers information on biking, walking, car, and ride-sharing, as well as parking services.
Biking and Walking
Penn is an ideal campus for cyclists and pedestrians.
Whether you have your own bike or participate in the Indego bike share program, we aim to make navigating campus safe and hassle-free. Please visit Penn Transportation and Parking for more information (and resources) for cyclists and pedestrians.
Penn Transit
For members of the Penn community, Penn Transit is a great way to get to and around campus.
Students, staff, faculty, and other employees should visit Penn Transportation and Parking for more information about our buses and shuttles, including schedules, routes, and fares.
Uber Partnership
You can always hail a taxi to get to Penn or request a ride with Uber.
