Frankford Transportation Center Construction Completed - September 2006
After the opening of the main terminal building in 2003,work began to restore the historic Bridge Street Terminal — returning the exterior to its 1922 appearance and rehabilitating the interior, including the installation of escalators and elevators. Concurrent with the fall 2006 bus schedule change, the Bridge Street Terminal and pedestrian overpass opened, connecting customers to the main terminal, bus berthing locations, and the parking garage. Retail space and Transit Police headquarters will also be located at street level.

On Tuesday, September 5, 2006, the FTC parking garage, a four-story, 1,000-space facility, located on Bustleton Avenue north of Bridge Street, opened its doors to the public. It is the first parking structure built for a SEPTA transportation facility and it offers the newest innovation in the industry – a self serve operation with an array of customer payment options for daily or occasional riders.

On December 12, 2006, the parking garage and the renovated Bridge Street Station were dedicated, officially bringing the construction project to a close.

Frankford Transportation Center
Following the 9-day engineering feat that demolished the old structure, moved the overhead guideway off Frankford Avenue and connected it to a new state-of-the- art terminal building; August 4, 2003 marked the beginning of a new era for SEPTA with the start of El service from the Frankford Transportation Center.

Fully accessible to riders with disabilities, the facility has an enclosed, climate-controlled waiting area, elevators, escalators, a Sales Office, Information Center, and public rest rooms. New retail outlets in the terminal offer SEPTA customers can now find an array of stores including Dunkin’ Donuts, Flowers to Go and the Original Soft Pretzel Factory.
