TRANSIT FOR ALL PA!
It’s Not Over: Tell Your Legislators & Gov Shapiro We Need New Revenue for Transit For All of PA
SEPTA and PRT are able to avoid service cuts for up to two years, at the expense of their safety, accessibility, and service improvement. But no new money has been approved for public transportation across the commonwealth. LANTA, shared-ride and paratransit, and transit agencies across PA will all hit their fiscal cliffs in the coming months.
The time to TAKE ACTION IS NOW!
Fill Out this form to email your legislators, Governor Shapiro, and PA House and Senate leadership to fund every system outside of Philly and Pittsburgh NOW, and commit to new, dedicated funding and a backfill of lost capital funding. We can't wait two years!
Transit Moves Us
SEPTA and PRT riders are feeling temporary relief and catastrophe has been avoided. But public transit access remains at risk for people all across the state of Pennsylvania.
Riders, workers, and transit supporters are bridging our divides and fighting for transit that moves rural and urban communities across our state.
We want you to join us!
We demand two years of funding for every transit agency unable to access capital flex including statewide paratransit, and a commitment to find and implement new, dedicated transit funding and backfill lost capital funding.
In all 67 counties of the Commonwealth, public transportation provides critical access for our elders, youth, disabled community members, and households without access to a personal vehicle. Transit systems statewide are hitting a funding “cliff,” which would devastate communities that have already lost much of their service in the past five years.
We’re holding Governor Shapiro to his word and heeding the caution of Scott Sauer of SEPTA to say that we can’t rob our future safety and accessibility for short-term gains, anywhere in Pennsylvania.
We are a coalition of thousands from communities of all sizes and geographies, and we have a shared demand: to restore transit service across the state to 2019 levels– and to expand transit service in communities outside Pittsburgh and Philadelphia by an additional 10%. But first, we must stave off imminent collapse.
Whether you’re from State College or Scranton, Philly or Erie, better transit is possible, is necessary, and is transformative. We’re ready to bring this challenge to our state elected leaders:
are you ready to meet this moment with us?
