How to fix SEPTA not working
SEPTA is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach septa.org over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not SEPTA.
Update the app
Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.
While SEPTA is down: what to use instead
- Official status page Open the system status page on the website to see which lines are disrupted when the app stalls or shows a blank screen.
- SEPTA Key card Tap a physical card at turnstiles or fareboxes if the app or phone wallet will not load a fare.
- PATCO Ride PATCO between Center City and South Jersey when a Regional Rail or subway disruption blocks your usual trip.
- NJ Transit Take an NJ Transit bus or train for some cross-river trips when the service is out on a route you share.

How we track SEPTA
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for SEPTA, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for SEPTA, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from SEPTA's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
