Pa. Sen. Costa pitches regional, multi-county transit authority for Southwestern Pa. Pennsylvania Sen. Jay Costa, D-Forest Hills, is pitching the idea of a regional, multi-county public transit authority as Pittsburgh Regional Transit braces for a fare increase and drastic service cut...

Public Transit is not just an issue in Philadelphia. SW PA is also facing their own crisis. Call your PA State Senator using the link in our Bio and demand they make #TransitForAll a priority cc @septaphilly.bsky.social @savesepta.com @transit4philly.bsky.social triblive.com/local/region...

Thank you Chester County!!

We do. And that's why so many fans rely on #SEPTA to get them to and from the game. Please ask Governor Shapiro and your PA State Senator and Representative to support new funding for public transit so we can avoid service cuts: fundseptanow.com. #ISEPTAPHILLY #HowWeRoll

Celebrate Earth Day, ride SEPTA, and take action to save the system!!

SEPTA faces a $213 million budget deficit starting July 1, 2025. Without a permanent funding solution - SEPTA will be forced to take drastic steps to irreversibly shrink the system. Learn more: wwww.septa.org/fundingcrisis/. #ISEPTAPHILLY #HowWeRoll

SEPTA’s hosting a series of public hearings this May to discuss the proposed 2026 fiscal year budget announcements. Bring a friend and make your voice heard, let’s fill the room!

The other day, Transit Forward Philly had the opportunity to attend the Delaware County Save SEPTA rally. Delco showed that transit matters! Lets keep the momentum going!!

Thank you so much for standing solidarity with riders, workers, and the people of PA!

We spent the last day flyering bus stops ahead of today's rally and talking to bus riders. Riders are upset and they want to see their elected officials REPRESENT them in Harrisburg. We'll see you today at 11 but this is just the beginning there will be more ways for you to get involved.

Mayor Cherelle Parker has abandoned her plan to slash subsidized SEPTA fare programs following criticism The Zero Fare program provides SEPTA access for low-income residents, and the Key Advantage program pays for fares for city employees.

🎉 HUGE WIN!

We got Mayor Parker to reverse course and save Philly’s Zero Fare Program & SEPTA Key Advantage benefit for city workers!

Thank you to our 650+ petition signers and partners at @transit4philly.bsky.social and CM O’Rourke’s office!!

Are you a member of the disability community, or do you work for a support organization? The Public Transit Access Coalition is a new group formed to stop transit crisis. Join their first calls this Friday and Monday.

We are calling on the leaders in Harrisburg to allocate the necessary funds to support transit systems all across the commonwealth as SEPTA is set to announce devastating fare cuts that will shutter entire lines and cripple transit service in the region!! @pasenatorsaval.com @repcephas.com
