SEPTA rebuilt the station area and ticket office in Summer 2010, using funds provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. In FY 2017, Fox Chase station was the seventh busiest station in the SEPTA Regional Rail system, with a weekday average of 1,446 boardings and 1,091 alightings.
