Amtrak 30th Street Station Intermodal Gateway Parking Structure - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor handles over four million patrons annually for both local and long-distance rail travel, the second busiest of the AMTRAK system.



To accommodate these parking demands, as well as a high-rise office building, TimHaahs designed a 1525-space parking facility adjacent to the station. Bearing on steel H-piles straddling numerous on-grade utilities and tunnels, the all-precast concrete, ten-tier garage has an overhead pedestrian bridge linking the garage elevator core to the station. With entry and exit to the facility at street (third) level, parkers also have access to existing parking under the adjacent street and station via the lowest level of the garage.

The Revenue Control System features a pay-on-foot operation that offers direct credit/debit card entry and exit.

TimHaahs served as parking consultant/ superstructure engineer to prime designer Urban/STV of Philadelphia. Bower Lewis Thrower, also of Philadelphia, is the project’s consulting architect. The Owner’s Project Consultant is Aegis Property Group, Philadelphia.
