Transportation

We Make Getting There Easier!

We hope to make service more accessible by providing support for travel and transportation.

Transportation Reimbursement

  • The OSCC will reimburse students for travel costs incurred on individual service projects. Reimbursement is for public transportation or mileage only. Ride-share services can be reimbursed in the amount of an equivalent public transportation fare, or if there were 3 or more students in the vehicle, can be refunded the full amount (please include student names in request).
  • Reimbursements cannot be processed without receipts. Submit receipts to Emily Johnson for processing.

SEPTA Passes

As a Ford, you’re less than 30 minutes by public transportation 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 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 pass.

Each SEPTA pass is loaded with 2 rides and can be used on the Norristown High Speed Line (NHSL), Market-Frankford Line (MFL), buses, trolleys or the Subway (Broad Street Line) for transportation to and from Philadelphia. All you have to do is complete a quick form detailing what activity you plan to participate in and you can get a pass.

The hope is that you will participate in something that will inform your civic and cultural experience while at Haverford. If you are unsure if your trip qualifies, feel free to send an email to hc-engage [at] haverford.edu.

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

Van Reservation

The Office of Service has a van that certified drivers can reserve and use! You must first obtain your fleet management certification. Then you can make a reservation for the van through EMS.
