As a Ford, you’re less than 30 minutes by train to Center City Philadelphia, where you can access all of the opportunities and resources of a huge metropolis. All it takes is a short walk from campus, and you’re on the train and on your way to Philadelphia.

How it Works

Any Haverford student who is going to a one-time event that relates to civic or cultural engagement in the city can request a disposable SEPTA Key card from the Student Life Office.

SEPTA Keys are 2-way passes that can be redeemed on the buses, Norristown High Speed Line (NHSL), subway, or Market-Frankford Line (MFL) for transportation to and from Philadelphia. One of our interns will help you fill out the required form so you can get your pass.

The hope is that you will participate in something and be able to bring the experience back to campus. If you are unsure if your trip qualifies, feel free to send an email to Dexter Coen Gilbert (dcoengilbe@haverford.edu)!

The Haverford College SEPTA portal is your guide to fast, safe, and affordable public transportation around campus!

Groups & Recurring Events

• We cannot give out passes to people for recurring events such as internships or classes.
• Doctors appointments and personal trips do not qualify for the free pass.
• These passes are available for individuals only. If you and a group wanted to travel into the city for a qualifying event you will each need to fill out the form individually.
