A huge praise to Bucks County on speaking on the importance of SEPTA 🙏

Public Transit is not just an issue in Philadelphia. SW PA is also facing their own crisis. Call your PA State Senator using the link in our Bio and demand they make #TransitForAll a priority cc @septaphilly.bsky.social @savesepta.com @transit4philly.bsky.social triblive.com/local/region...

Thank you Chester County!!

We do. And that's why so many fans rely on #SEPTA to get them to and from the game. Please ask Governor Shapiro and your PA State Senator and Representative to support new funding for public transit so we can avoid service cuts: fundseptanow.com. #ISEPTAPHILLY #HowWeRoll

Celebrate Earth Day, ride SEPTA, and take action to save the system!!

SEPTA faces a $213 million budget deficit starting July 1, 2025. Without a permanent funding solution - SEPTA will be forced to take drastic steps to irreversibly shrink the system. Learn more: wwww.septa.org/fundingcrisis/. #ISEPTAPHILLY #HowWeRoll

SEPTA’s hosting a series of public hearings this May to discuss the proposed 2026 fiscal year budget announcements. Bring a friend and make your voice heard, let’s fill the room!

The other day, Transit Forward Philly had the opportunity to attend the Delaware County Save SEPTA rally. Delco showed that transit matters! Lets keep the momentum going!!

Thank you so much for standing solidarity with riders, workers, and the people of PA!

We spent the last day flyering bus stops ahead of today's rally and talking to bus riders. Riders are upset and they want to see their elected officials REPRESENT them in Harrisburg. We'll see you today at 11 but this is just the beginning there will be more ways for you to get involved.

🎉 HUGE WIN! We got Mayor Parker to reverse course and save Philly’s Zero Fare Program & SEPTA Key Advantage benefit for city workers! Thank you to our 650+ petition signers and partners at @transit4philly.bsky.social and CM O’Rourke’s office!!

Thank you Mayor Parker for investing more in SEPTA. We're still going through the budget and will post a full analysis soon.

Great dashboard. You can easily see that the Philadelphia metro area receives almost 16% less in federal transit formula funding per-capita than peer metro Boston, most likely because PA is not on the Section 5340 "high-density" state list like MA and other NE states are

Last week [3/3-3/9] there were 436,454 contactless taps on our buses, subways, and trolleys. Were you one of them?

On Monday, we proudly stood in solidarity with @fsfccp.bsky.social AFT 2026 as they vote on strike authorization. Their visionary contract demands see transit as a foundational issue for student and staff success - seeking SEPTA's UPASS for students, and Key Advantage for workers.

Stroller Spot on Transit, a great step toward Family-Friendly transit!!

Love seeing the new wayfinding going up at my local @septaphilly.bsky.social subway station! @5thsq.org @transit4philly.bsky.social

This was the crowd at Jefferson Station after the Eagles parade last week. This is proof of what happens when we don’t properly fund SEPTA. Philly deserves better 🚊

@transit4philly.bsky.social is the main advocacy nonprofit working on the main issues, including funding for the continued survival of SEPTA

These massively scaled back parade service is another reminder that our transit agency is performing at a fraction of its potential. I'm not an expert on planning or ops, but I do know that if we had more trains to run and more people to run them, all of this might not be necessary.

Fly Eagles Fly 🦅🦅 Here’s how you can take SEPTA to the Eagles parade this Friday #iseptaphilly
