The Department of Transportation and Parking manages and operates a number of parking facilities on Penn's campus, including garages and lots. While many of the facilities are permit-only and reserved for university faculty, staff and students, there is also ample visitor parking available. (See Parking Map). Operating hours and parking fees are posted at each facility.

Penn Parking is a department under the auspices of the University's Division of Business Services. Consistent with the mission of the overall division, our underlying philosophy is to provide our clients with high quality service in a fiscally responsible manner. Penn Parking shares Penn's status as a not-for-profit organization and proceeds earned from our sales and supplier partnerships support the costs associated with maintaining the operation of the enterprise.

SOUTH STREET BRIDGE PROJECT WEBSITE

The South Street Bridge closed on December 8, 2008 to all vehicular and pedestrian traffic for the duration of this 24-month project.

June 17 , 2009 Update: Medical Complex One-Way Loop. South Street is one way westbound from Convention Avenue to 33rd Street. Vehicular traffic will no longer be able to travel eastbound on South Street.

April 4, 2009: Civic Center Boulevard is one-way southbound from the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania to Health Sciences Drive. Health Sciences Drive is one-way northbound. This new traffic pattern was designed to ease the traffic flow and enhance emergency vehicle access to the hospital buildings.

Incentives to encourage current parking patrons to use alternatives modes of transportation for their daily commutes.

The reconstruction will have an impact on the day-to-day operations of commuting to and from Penn and its Health System.

The City of Philadelphia's Streets Department officials currently expect the Bridge to be closed between the fall of 2008 and fall of 2010. More information on the City's plans can be viewed by visiting their official website at http://potholes.phila.gov/southstreetbridge.
