While Senate Republicans have still failed to end the transportation funding crisis, two women have stepped up and used their leadership to temporarily help with the burden of SEPTA cuts. Thank you, Mayor Parker and Judge Street.

SEPTA riders are already facing fewer buses and trains. Now, a planned 21.5% fare hike is on the horizon—all because Senate Republicans refused to properly fund mass transit.

People are feeling the impact of the SEPTA cuts, and it doesn't need to be this way. It's time for Senate Republicans to work with us to get transportation funding done!

We'll say it again- the PA House has passed a bipartisan transportation funding plan FIVE times. PA Senate Democrats are still ready with 23 votes for a long-term, sustainable funding plan. PA Senate Republicans need to get this done!

#FeelGoodFriday: @senvincenthughes.bsky.social stopped by the Sixth Man Center in North Philly and took some time to remember what the good fight is for- the future of our kids.

@senvincenthughes.bsky.social spent time at the Sixth Man Center in Philly with @lgaustindavis.bsky.social to discuss the importance of community and anti-violence funding like the VIP program. Investing at the community level is key to providing real opportunities and support for young people.

Anya Rainwater taps in and out of SEPTA around 8 times a day. As a traveling case manager, she meets her clients where they are, and that means traversing Philadelphia via public transit. With SEPTA cuts looming, she’s concerned for those clients. (1/4) 🔗 www.inquirer.com/transportati...

As we have said for weeks, we have 23 votes to support a sustainable, permanent funding solution for mass transit throughout Pennsylvania. Let's work together and get back to work for hard-working Pennsylvanians. buff.ly/nmiiXZo

Here's what to know about the Senate Republican plan to fund trains, buses, roads, and bridges. 🔹Mandatory fare increases 🔸Authorization to take money away from approved safety and maintenance public transportation projects 🔹PA Senate Democrats are ready to work on a serious plan

@senvincenthughes.bsky.social explains why the Senate Republican transit plan is a BAD deal. PA Senate Democrats do not support: ❌Forever fare increases ❌Taking money away from safety and maintenance projects We're still ready to vote for a serious, long-term, transportation funding solution
