Transit for all Pa!
Campaign Updates
Another Budget Passes without Transit. But This Movement is Unstoppable.
No new transit funding means less access, higher costs, and major cuts to come On July 12th, State Legislators and the Governor passed a belated state budget, again without new revenue for PA transit. For transit riders and workers, a status quo budget this year means less access and higher transportation costs - with catastrophic cuts coming down the pike. The crisis is already here: transit providers in rural and urban communities are cutting service and raising fares. Pennsylvanians in every county have lost transit service since 2019. This year, riders in the Lehigh Valley have...

ACTION ALERT: The Future of Public Transit Funding has to Include New State Revenue
It has never been more clear: Pennsylvania needs new revenue sources to keep transit systems moving across the Commonwealth. The PA Supreme Court’s recent decision underscores that creating new revenue sources is possible, necessary, and urgent. 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. Take Action Now Transit advocates have long been urging lawmakers to identify new revenue sources to fund mass transit across Pennsylvania. Last year, legislators in both...
100+ Transit Riders, Workers, and Politicians Call for Transit Funding Solution at Harrisburg Day of Action
On June 3rd, transit riders, workers and supporters from all across PA called for an end to the transit funding crisis that is forcing imminent service cuts and fare hikes for elderly and disabled Pennsylvanians in small metros and rural communities across the state. Transit for All PA! supporters used the Day of Action at the State Capitol to call for a solution to the $80 million (and growing!) deficit for shared-ride and paratransit in this year’s state budget—so that next year, PA can finally pass a comprehensive, long-term transportation funding package. Across all 67 counties,...
2026 Harrisburg Day of Action
Transit is in crisis, everywhere in PA. Our legislators need to know there is a solution. Transit systems all across the Commonwealth are facing dire funding shortfalls, with small systems and paratransit (the service that seniors and people with disabilities use to get where they need to go) facing the most urgent crisis. Many state legislators don't know that there are solutions to this crisis of mobility, or even that there is a crisis at all. Join transit riders and workers from all across the state to educate our lawmakers, and advance solutions that create the service that...

The Crisis Is Here: Keep Shared-Ride and Paratransit Moving in Every County
The shared-ride and paratransit system in PA is broken. Paratransit is the service that seniors and people with disabilities use to take shared van rides where they need to go, since larger fixed-route buses are often inaccessible. Paratransit (or shared-ride) service is legally required by the Americans with Disabilities Act wherever fixed-route service exists, and operates in all 67 counties of Pennsylvania. Here's the problem: nearly every transit agency in PA is robbing its fixed-route budgets to keep shared-ride and paratransit service running—putting fixed-route service at risk in...
