Map Tracks Crime on SEPTA Regional Rail Lines

See which SEPTA Regional Rail Stations have the highest instances of violent crime occur near them in the city.

A new map tracks violent crimes near SEPTA regional rail stations throughout the city of Philadelphia including those stations on the Manayunk/Norristown Line.

The map shows which stations have the highest instances of violent crime in a one block radius from the station.

Violent crimes include homicides, robberies, assaults and rapes.  The map uses crime data from 2007 through Oct. 2013.

The highest instances of crime near SEPTA stations have occurred in North Philadelphia, but also near Suburban Station and Market East Station in Center City.

On the Manayunk/Norristown line, the Manayunk Station has had the most violent crime occur near it with 52 instances since 2007.

It should also be noted that the map does not say whether or not the crimes were perpetrated against SEPTA passengers, only that these incidents happened near SEPTA stations.

Also on the Manayunk/Norristown Line, 17 violent crimes have taken place near the Wissahickon Station since 2007, and one violent crime has occurred near the Ivy Ridge Station since 2007.
