----

Since mid-November 2025, West Philly Trolleys are diverting to 40th and Market due to overhead wire problems in the tunnel.

These trolleys are frequently stuck in University City traffic, especially on Spruce, 38th, and 40th Streets – delaying over 30,000 daily riders. 

There are up to 10 times more trolley riders than cars using these streets!

Sign here to tell the City & SEPTA to prioritize riders during EVERY extended trolley diversion and;

  • Create temporary transitways on Spruce, 38th, and 40th Streets 
  • Divert vehicle traffic during rush hours & restrict parking
  • Give traffic-signal priority to SEPTA vehicles
  • Provide shelter and benches for waiting riders, especially at 40th & Market
  • Improve bus frequencies in affected areas
