TRANSPORTATION
AIRPORT – Camden is reached by air most easily via the Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)-https://www.phl.org/ though it is also possible to fly into New York City or Newark, NJ.
AMTRAK – Philadelphia is a main stop on the Northeast Corridor of AMTRAK https://www.amtrak.com/home and also accessible via New Jersey Transit www.njtransit.com. Camden can be reached via the River Line from Trenton, and the NJT Northeast Corridor from New York City (via Philly).
SEPTA – Public transportation in Philadelphia is operated by SEPTA www.septa.org. There are regular trains from the airport to Center City, a subway (the blue Market-Frankfort Line) that runs across town, as well as numerous buses – in case you want to plan some tourist activities. Unfortunately, the SEPTA and PATCO systems are not interlinked, so you need to buy separate tickets for them. It is easy, however to move from one train to the other at 8th & Market Streets. For a map click here.
PATCO – Once you are in Philadelphia, use PATCO to get to Camden. www.ridepatco.org. Campus is located at the first stop on the New Jersey side of the river, City Hall. From there, it’s just two blocks to campus. Below: PATCO Rail Map
RIVER LINE – The light rail connects Camden to Trenton and the Trenton Transit Station (which connects to the NE Corridor). For map click here.
INDEGO – For anyone staying in Philly, and up for adventure, we recommend the Philly Bike Share system, INDEGO. https://www.rideindego.com/. It’s easy to sign up, grab a bike and enjoy the town and trails along Philly’s “other” river, the Schuylkill and the fabulous Fairmount Park.
