SEPTA Snyder Station Accessibility Improvements

A $30.36 million budget will help the Broad Street Line stop to be fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The immediate fate of The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) has left commuters hoping for sensible resolution, as officials and representatives from the Transport Workers Union Local 234 try to avoid a strike.

While a labor decision remains undetermined, the agency knows its overall identity must focus on offering inclusive services and amenities. With this in mind, it will be spending the next two years revamping the Snyder Station stop along its Broad Street Line (BSL), putting the location in full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Through its 139-page Capital Budget document that includes designs through 2035, SEPTA notes the need to “make transit easy to use for everyone.” Page four of the breakdown adds that its overseers are “prioritizing essential infrastructure work and safety and security improvements to maximize the reliability and effectiveness of our aging system,” all in the name of having 99 percent of metro trips go through an accessible station come 2035.
