Philadelphia Car Storage Question

My DD is a student at a college in urban Philadelphia. She has a car at home but did not take it to school this year because finding parking in the city is either expensive or impossible.

I had thought that perhaps it would be better to find a place in suburban Philadelphia where she could take the bus or train and then get to her car as she needed it to go back and forth to home for visits. This would actually be more economical than the choices we currently have to get her back and forth (us making the 5.5 hour drive each way, Amtrak, flying ($$$), or Greyhound (no direct Megabus to points near us). Also, since she is spending the summer in Philly in her first apartment it would also be nice for her to have her car available to drive to the Jersey shore or Hershey Park with her friends once in awhile.

However, I am having a tough time locating reasonable parking, near Public transportation, in a decent area. I am so unfamiliar with Philly itself that I am not sure where to start really looking.

I am hoping someone on this board can offer a suggestion or two.
