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!
Arthur Steinberg@artsteinberg-pft.bsky.social · last yr.Thank you @transit4philly.bsky.social @pasenatorsaval.com for convening so many who depend on SEPTA - including Philly students. @pftlocal3.bsky.social @aftpa.bsky.social stand shoulder to shoulder with TWU & all workers facing layoffs when their services are needed by our communities.
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.
🎉 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!!
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.

In the first year, participants took more than 4.3 million trips. This pilot program has now come to an end and the city is not planning to renew it. Let’s save this program ⬇️
