The Institute’s private parking lot has two accessible parking spaces for those with a disability placard.
There are also several parking garages located nearby:
Taxis are available from Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station for the two-mile trip to the Institute. You may also take the Market-Frankford Subway (the Blue Line), which is part of SouthEastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority (SEPTA), the public-transportation system serving the Greater Philadelphia region. Take the eastbound train to the 2nd Street stop. We’re only a couple of blocks away.
SEPTA buses stopping near us include routes 5, 9, 17, 21, 33, 38, 42, 44, 48, and 57. All SEPTA Regional Rail Lines serve Jefferson Station at 10th and Market Streets, which is a few blocks’ walk or a quick ride on the bus or subway. SEPTA’s Market-Frankford Line has stations at both 2nd and 5th Streets on Market, just around the corner.
A wheelchair-accessible pedestrian gate is available at SHI parking-lot entrance on 3rd Street between Chestnut and Market Streets. If you’re traveling by car, drive up to the parking-lot gate, which will open automatically during regular business hours and events. You may park in any open spot marked “Visitor” or in one of two spots reserved for persons with disabilities. To enter the building, call the receptionist via the intercom at the East Entrance for visitors and staff.
