Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority ( SEPTA) runs the majority of public transportation in Philadelphia and surrounding areas - this includes the Villanova train station and stop.

The R5 and R100 routes have train stations on Villanova University's campus. The train lines run into Center City Philadelphia. In fact if you live in New Jersey, you can take the R100 to 30th Street Station and switch to a New Jersey Transit train and go directly home.

This Villanova train station makes it easy to get to the University from any major city. For example, if you are from Boston, New York, Washington DC, or anywhere on the East Coast really, the train setup makes it easy to travel back home. The R5 is a nice train that takes you right into 30th street so the connection is seamless every time.

Parking Situation

Freshmen and sophomores are not allowed to have cars on campus unless there are circumstances that security finds a legitimate reason for the need of a car. This is pretty easy to get around; you just have to apply for permission.

Permits

Parking permits for parking on campus can be applied for online. The cost will be between $75-100 a year. Generally permits are issued for the Main Lot unless you live in West campus in which case the permit will be issued for the lots near West campus. Summer session permits are also available.

Finding a Spot

Students say that you will rarely have to drive around looking for a parking spot in the Main lot but if you are parking in West campus or near the dorms like Dougherty Drive, you may have to drive around for awhile looking for a spot. It is important to know the Villanova parking regulations.

Fines and Penalties

Tickets can range from $15-50 and you can get tickets for parking in no parking zones to parking in handicapped parking. If you do not pay your tickets by the time you graduate, you could not be allowed to graduate if you do not satisfy the fines.

There is also a possibility of having your car booted on campus in which case you have to call security and pay to get the boot removed.

You also have the option to fight your ticket and appeal your parking violation.
