Local context

How we work University City

University City covers Penn, Drexel, 30th Street Station and the hospital campuses west of the Schuylkill, and its calendar is set by the schools. Late August move-in fills every block west of campus, and the mix of out-of-town families, temporary no-parking permits and unfamiliar signs produces a wave of tows and tickets. Market and Chestnut carry the traffic with the trolley portal at 40th, University Avenue crosses the river, and I-76 runs the southern edge. The hospitals, HUP, CHOP and Penn Presbyterian, run their own lots and enforce them. Campus and city enforcement both feed PPA lots, so check findmytowedcar.org first. A student car with sensitive electronics should go on a flatbed.
