SEPTA is making good headway with fare evasion!
Daniel Pearson@DPearsonPHLSep 24
The fare evasion reduction numbers from the taller gates are pretty incredible.

SEPTA's august '26 ridership numbers are strong, NBN seems to be helping ridership (substantial increase from both '24 and '25): wwww.septa.org/news/ridershiโ€ฆ

So in the future, every 15 mins, trains would run from: S1: Norristown > Manayunk > Center City > Airport S2: Wawa > Media > Center City > Chestnut Hill S3: Paoli > Ardmore > Center City > Fox Chase We're basically getting 3 new subway lines!!

A stronger future for our region starts with a vision. SEPTA has connected people in Southeastern Pennsylvania to jobs, opportunity, and the neighborhoods they call home for more than 60 years. Now we have an opportunity to build on that legacy. Accelerate is #SEPTAโ€™s vision for a safer, more reliable, accessible, and best-in-class transit system. One that strengthens Pennsylvaniaโ€™s economy, helps our entire region grow, and makes Greater Philadelphia an even better place to live, work, and do business. This is whatโ€™s possible when we invest in #publictransportation. And weโ€™re ready to get to work. Watch the video to see SEPTAโ€™s vision for the future. #ISEPTAPHILLY #Accelerate #TheFuture #BestInClass #Invest

Reimagining Regional Rail is finally out! The long term plan will turn a large part of SEPTAโ€™s regional rail network into essentially a second metro system.

In the state budget before lawmakers as of Saturday night: -$900 million+ in new ed spending. -Pension boosts for public workers retired for 25+ years Not in: -Tax policy changes -Minimum wage hike -Skill games spotlightpa.org/news/2026/07โ€ฆ

PA lawmakers adopt $50.8B budget

The plan also preserves the stateโ€™s nearly $8 billion rainy day fund by using off-budget โ€œspecialโ€ funds and accounting maneuvers.

Gosh, I sure hope they don't add a well intentioned clause about the uniformity of taxation that has major consequences 250 years later

It's official. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled skill games are slot machines. The underlying cases are sent back to Commonwealth Court for further deliberation.

idrk how much this matters re: SEPTA but it's certainly a blow to the skill games lobby. I would (perhaps naively) think that Harrisburg will try to pass legislation to allow skill games similar to the old status quo, and it will include a tax that could perhaps go to transit

Itโ€™s been a rough year for SEPTA but we are so thankful to all the hard workers who continue to make the system as safe and reliable as possible. What part of SEPTA are YOU most thankful for?

I cannot stress enough how stupidly high transit usage would be in Philly if it just got a mild amount of guaranteed investment Its impressive with what SEPTA is able to do currently with their shitty situation
Alan Fisher@alanthefisher26 Nov 2025
Replying to @sdrx902
the MFL is 1/3 the length of Seattle's Line 1 with the exact same ridership. So yes it's a shitbox, but it's a damn efficient shitbox. Imagine if the system was actually funded properly

Really happy this was forward looking enough to get money for other repairs (mainly BSL) that are needed to prevent further issues

With the new capital funds, SEPTA will be able to restore Regional Rail to its normal capacity within a few weeks.

The winners and losers in Pennsylvaniaโ€™s new $50.1 billion budget

The breakthrough deal capped a saga that featured bitter partisan fights, months of stalled negotiations, and a dramatic resurgence of Pennsylvaniaโ€™s rural-urban divide.

With no new investment for public transit in the 2025-2026 state budget, discussions must begin now to ensure the 2026-2027 budget meets the needs of Pennsylvaniaโ€™s riders and communities.

The brainiacs in Harrisburg sure do a great job at making PA attractive to taxpayers
SEPTA Youth Advisory Council@SEPTAYAC12 Nov 2025
Policy makers in Chicago, DC, and NYC have all come together to boost transit funding in the wake of Covid. Yet, the transit system that needs new dollars the most has yet again been left out of the budget.

Young adults aren't currently interested in staying in or moving to PA, and we can't survive without their tax dollars. PA's economic issues are caused by the fact that our tax base is aging into retirement
