40th Street is a SEPTA Subway-Surface Lines trolley station. At this station, known as the 40th Street Portal, four of the five Subway-Surface Lines enter the Woodland Avenue subway tunnel after running on the street in Southwest Philadelphia and nearby suburbs. Eastbound trolleys run in the tunnel under the nearby campuses of the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University to Center City Philadelphia. Westbound trolleys travel to the Philadelphia neighborhoods of Eastwick and Angora and the Delaware County suburbs of Yeadon and Darby.

The station is above ground at the entrance to the tunnel. When the tunnel is closed, trolleys are re-routed along 42nd Street to intersect with the 40th Street station of the Market-Frankford Line.
