PATCO Announces Temporary Station Closures and Additional Schedule Modifications

 

The changes support slowing spread of COVID-19, protect PATCO riders
& employees and are necessary to sustain the continuity of services


The health and safety of our customers and employees is our highest priority. As the situation concerning COVID-19 continues to unfold, PATCO is monitoring and adjusting service as needed in order to promote the health and safety of its customers and employees. The adjustments meet the demands of current ridership and are necessary in order to sustain the continuity of service for essential riders.

Starting Saturday, March 28, 2020, four PATCO stations will temporarily close 24 hours a day and adjustments will be made to PATCO’s weekday and weekend schedules.

The PATCO stations that will temporarily close during the current conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic are:
