Arrott Transit Center is part of the Frankford Elevated section of the line, which began service on November 5, 1922, as Margaret–Orthodox–Arrott station.
Between 1988 and 2003, SEPTA undertook a $493.3 million reconstruction of the Frankford Elevated line adjacent the station. The line had originally been built with track ballast and was replaced with precast sections of deck. Unlike other non-terminal stations on the Frankford El, this station was not immediately reconstructed.
From winter 2016 to winter 2018, SEPTA rebuilt the station platforms, stairways, roof canopies, and lighting at a cost of $39.86 million. Elevators and tactile paving, tactile warning strips were also installed, bringing the station to Americans with Disabilities Act, ADA accessibility requirements. During this project, the station was renamed from Margaret–Orthodox to Arrott Transportation Center. It was initially proposed to cost $20 million and be completed from 2011 to 2013.
The Market–Frankford station entrance is at the west side of the five-way intersection, located between Arrott Street and Oxford Avenue. There is another staircase directly serving the bus berths located on Arrott Street between Frankford Avenue and Griscom Street. The eastbound Market–Frankford platform has two exit-only staircases from the eastbound platform, serving the southeast corners of Overington Street and Frankford Avenue and Margaret Street and Frankford.
