TRANSIT FOR ALL PA!
The Crisis Is Here; Transit Riders & Workers Need a Budget That Moves Us NOW!
LANTA is cutting service and raising fares in the Lehigh Valley as we speak. Red Rose and BARTA in Lancaster and Berks counties see the same fate within the year. And even SEPTA and PRT robbed their future accessibility and safety to keep service running for a short while longer. Governor Shapiro sets the tone with his budget address on February 4, and this year he must set an investment based on Pennsylvania’s actual needs, not political calculus. That means new, dedicated investments in infrastructure and service as outlined in the Transit For All PA Funding Proposal – sales tax alone is not enough.
Our call remains: FUND TRANSIT NOW, not in two years! Governor Shapiro must lead with transit in his budget proposal
Fill out this form to email your legislators, Governor Shapiro, and PA House and Senate leadership that we're holding them accountable to fund transit with new, dedicated investment - not just the sales tax. We can't wait two years!
Transit Moves Us
In 2025 PA finally passed a late budget, but offered no substantive relief to transit riders with risky trains in Philly, nor to riders facing looming service cuts in the Lehigh Valley. We’re not stopping until riders and workers can count on your future service with dedicated investment – not just the sales tax.
At the end of 2025, House Speaker Joanna McClinton and Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward agreed in year-end Q&As that transportation must be central to this year’s budget. And Governor Shapiro touted his emergency actions to keep just some of PA’s transit in motion. But you deserve more than a duct-taped status quo; riders and workers need new, dedicated investment like we outlined in the Transit For All PA funding package.
Riders, workers, and transit supporters are bridging our divides and fighting for transit that moves rural and urban communities across our state.
We want you to join us!
You are strengthening a movement for funding to ensure transit remains safe and in service – in every corner of Pennsylvania. Riders should not lose service due to dangerous infrastructure in Philly, and agencies growing ridership and service in the Lehigh Valley should not have to backtrack.
By taking action, you join a coalition of thousands from communities of all sizes and geographies with 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%.
Whether you’re from State College or Scranton, Philly or Erie, better transit is possible, is necessary, and is transformative. We’re not letting up on pushing our state elected leaders.
are you ready to keep up the fight?
