With Transit for All PA!, Transit riders, workers, and supporters are building new constellations of power.
Together, we’ve met the biggest threats to transit by building the biggest Movement the state has ever seen. Your support TODAY can help this movement grow and Win.
There’s no denying it, Pennsylvania’s transit riders, workers and supporters have built an unprecedented movement this year, uplifting a transformational demand: that everyone deserves access to high-quality transportation.
Never before have PA’s politicians heard such a unified voice speaking up for better public transit. You and your fellow supporters have grown a movement of over 45,000 people all across the state. You’ve held press conferences, rallies, placed op-eds, made news stories, and met with legislators in every PA county. This organizing has resulted in the introduction of the most ambitious transit legislation in the state’s history, and all this movement occurred in just 12 months.
We still have a ways to go, but victory is certainly ahead if transit riders, transit workers, and supporters keep organizing together with this momentum.
Will you help keep building new constellations of power for transit in PA? Here’s a message from Alex Casper, a Transit for All PA! supporter in McKean County:
My name is Alex Casper, and I live in Bradford City, deep in the rural heart of the PA Wilds. Whether you’re from Pottstown or Bridgeville, Philly or Titusville, better public transit is possible, necessary, and transformative for every community.
For me, it’s personal. Before moving to McKean County, I worked as a paratransit receptionist with SEPTA and at the PA Consumer Service Center, where I helped people apply for Medicaid and SNAP. But in 2024, while volunteering on a statewide ballot-access effort, I was hit by a car in a crosswalk in Philly. This led to disability and homelessness, before securing public housing in Bradford and moving across the state. Through all the life changes – from ability to disability, from urban to rural – one thing rings true: public transit is essential to every community, everywhere.
The rural PA Wilds are some of the most elderly and disabled counties in PA. Despite having hospitals, we lack specialists and Medicaid-accepting providers. People like me routinely take transit for travel to Olean, Kane, Coudersport, St. Marys, DuBois, or Erie for care. When PA’s transit is underfunded, it means my neighbors miss treatment, postpone appointments, or lose independence entirely – and it means the same thing in urbanized places too. Our success is all tied together.
Tens of millions of people all across PA ride transit every year. It could be so many more, but PA doesn’t have dedicated transit funding. That’s because big-money interests are dividing us up so they can use our public money for their own profits. The only way to win is for all of us to organize and build power across race, class, and geography. Will you join Transit for All PA! to make it happen?
Sincerely,
Alex Casper
Whether it’s Philadelphia or Bradford, the city or the suburbs, our success means Connection to Opportunity for every community.
