VIDEO – WHERE PISSING CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE –
July 11, 2023 – Public restrooms are important for all members of the community and help make public spaces accessible to all. Like many U.S. cities, Philadelphia doesn’t have enough public restrooms to meet the demand.
The need for public restrooms in Philadelphia has been addressed with portable restrooms in key areas. The goal of this public restroom pilot is to provide a permanent, well-maintained option that is more attractive to a broad group of people – including families, tourists, businesses, and underserved individuals.
The City’s five-year budget includes funding for six units, each in a different neighborhood. A community engagement process is planned to give residents the opportunity to weigh in on locations and share concerns. The City will update this page with information on the pilot’s progress and future opportunities to get involved.
