Philadelphia city officials unveiled the new map Tuesday morning.

The map gives travelers critical, color-coded information for all 18 outlying stations that will be in use during the papal visit.
The red dotted lines mean 'Road Closed,' light blue signifies parking areas, royal blue shows drop-off locations.
Coming soon, said Hopkins, is information about the Center City stops, Jefferson University and 30th Street Station.
The goal is to give pilgrims as much information as possible about getting around safely.
"We want people to go onto our website," said Ron Hopkins, Assistant General Manager of Operations for SEPTA.
"We have an interactive map on our website," he continued. "You can select a station where you purchased your ticket from, and when you click on it, you will be given everything that has been designed, between SEPTA, the townships, the police departments of that municipality to make your job easier. We show drop-off points. We show parking, if it's available."
At this point about 115,000 people have tickets to travel on SEPTA trains during the papal visit.
