15/16th & Locust Street Station will close on Sunday, November 19, from 8:10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. for a public safety drill. Commuters who generally access PATCO through the 15/16th & Locust Street Station are encouraged to board through the 12/13th & Locust Street Station.
The drill, a collaboration between the DRPA’s Public Safety and Homeland Security units, along with the Philadelphia Fire and Police Departments, will involve testing of emergency response equipment and protocols. Residents and visitors in the area should expect to see emergency vehicles, first responders and increased activity in the area around the station during the drill. Streets may be blocked as they would be during an actual emergency. Every effort is being made to minimize disruptions while keeping the exercise realistic.
