Transit Moves Us
Public transit access is at risk for people all across the state of Pennsylvania, with cuts for SEPTA arriving in just a few Days. Riders, workers, and supporters are bridging our divides and fighting for transit that moves rural and urban communities across our state.
We want you to join us!
Public transportation is an issue that impacts rural and urban communities alike. 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 already suffering under similar cuts enacted over the past several years due to funding austerity.
Over the last several years, our statewide coalition Transit for All PA! has been organizing for a new, dedicated state funding source to fund the transit services riders across the Commonwealth need. 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 collapse and time is running out.
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:
