What's Happening?
In March 2026, Mayor Parker listened to the voices of transit riders and invested in the nationally renowned Zero Fare program that provides 60,000 low income Philadelphians as well as the municipal Key Advantage program that provides transit passes for more than 13,000 city workers.
Now the Mayor's budget proposal goes to the Philadelphia City Council. Your voice is needed to strengthen it and ensure they become law.
Throughout the budget process, Transit Forward Philadelphia will advocate for increased funding for Zero Fare, Key Advantage, and SEPTA. Additionally, we will advocate for universal student fares that give Philly students the freedom of mobility to reach opportunities on weekends, over the summer, and regardless of geography.
