Join Transit Forward Philadelphia, Transit For All PA, State Senator Nikil Saval, and partners for a rally and press conference to fund public transit in the Pennsylvania budget.
About the event:
Join advocates and elected leaders outside the 5th St/Independence Hall 'L' Stop to call for transit funding in the PA budget. This stop was recently renovated with modern facilities and new elevators that allow riders with disabilities, strollers, shopping carts, and bikes to access transit. With additional funding and new revenue SEPTA, and transit agencies across the commonwealth can bring improvements like this to bus, train, and trolley stops across PA.
In a moment where public transit is empowering Philly to host a World Cup, America's 250th anniversary and big events throughout 2026, we need to invest in a system that moves us to work, school, and across our region.
About the campaign:
Pennsylvania needs new revenue sources to keep transit systems moving across the Commonwealth. At this critical moment, Transit supporters can take action now to encourage their legislators to create new revenue sources that keep transit moving in every PA community.
Transit advocates have long been urging lawmakers to identify new revenue sources to fund mass transit across Pennsylvania. Last year, legislators in both chambers introduced the Transit For All PA! funding package that included a proposal for new revenue from three different fees. More than 40 State Senators and Representatives have co-sponsored this legislative package
Legislators face a June 30th state budget deadline. Now is the time for them to come back to the table to consider all revenue-generating options.
