The new terminal at Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) officially opens today! Last week, I had the pleasure of doing a final walkthrough with PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll, Senator Judy Ward, and Rep. Kerry Benninghoff.

This week in Harrisburg, I joined advocates in recognition of Dyslexia Awareness Month. My first bill ever signed into law was in 2014 to create the Dyslexia Screening and Early Literacy Intervention Program.

The House and Senate Transportation Committees recently toured the newly constructed terminal at Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT). As one of the largest airports in PA, about 10 million passengers travel through PIT every year.

While I’m thankful that the NTSB identified the problem posing risks to public safety and SEPTA is acting quickly to inspect and remove affected railcars. pahouse.com/Neilson/InTh...

Every community throughout PA has unique needs in order to grow and thrive, happy to join Rep. Kerry Benninghoff on PCN to discuss how transit funding is one common service which is needed throughout the state. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQBe...

The Dept. of Defense is currently conducting training and exercise drills in different parts of the city including the Northeast until Sept. 6. You may have seen military helicopters and other emergency response scenarios.

Thanks to PCN for having me on to highlight the impact that public transit has on PA’s economy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=skDE...

This bill has everything that Senate Republicans have been demanding to move transit funding. This isn’t about dollars & cents, this is about the hardworking people of Pennsylvania – it’s about the parents who use SEPTA to get to their jobs, and their kids who use public transit to get to school.

Once again, the #PAHouse has passed a mass transit funding package that would prevent unnecessary service cuts and also includes many of the initiatives that the #PASenate has demanded but has yet to act on. Time is up! Tell your senator to vote for mass transit funding now!

Thanks to Gov. Shapiro for visiting @septaphilly.bsky.social to highlight the critical impact of mass transit throughout the commonwealth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H70l...

As Transportation Committee Chairman, I'm demanding action! SEPTA cuts service starting Aug. 24 without funding. Families will lose jobs, kids can't get to school. Real people are getting hurt. The #PaSenate must act NOW! RepNeilson.com #SaveSEPTA #PATransit

Sending prayers to the families of two Pennsylvania State Troopers who were wounded in Susquehanna County while responding to an emergency call. Law enforcement go into every call not knowing what to expect - thank you all for your service.

The House Transportation Committee showed up to work, did our job and voted to fund SEPTA 7 times while the Senate Republicans refuse to act on it – holding riders livelihoods hostage for political games.

On August 24th, the bus I used to ride for school will shut down because SEPTA is out of money! That’s why we passed a bipartisan bill that includes oversight demanded by Senate Republicans. We are out of time, SEPTA is running out of money & now the Senate has no more excuses. youtu.be/l2LGZrYeIKY

As a union member myself, I stand proudly in solidarity along side my son, a fourth generation union member. I support Philly's municipal workers from AFSCME DC 13 and 33 AFSCME DISTRICT COUNCIL 33 while they fight for fair wages and better working conditions.

Supporting our hardworking District 33 union members on the picket line at Northeast Airport. I hope they come to quick and fair resolution to end the strike!

As Majority Transportation Chair, I try to learn all I can about how people are getting around in today's world. But nothing beats hands-on experience.

This week, the House Transportation Committee hosted our 2nd Annual Electric Vehicle Exhibition. We brought different types of electric vehicles from different manufacturers to Harrisburg.

Our energy & transportation needs are rapidly increasing and we must meet that demand. Natural gas production is the answer and will help to bring us all to a brighter future. youtu.be/1a1Pv5EIJ50

I met with the PA Bus Association to talk about the important services private bus companies provide. Whether you travel by motorcoach, tour, or charter services, these family-owned businesses work hard to get you where you need to go.

PRT and SEPTA came to Harrisburg to meet with lawmakers about fully funding transit now in all 67 counties! Thank you to PRT CEO Katharine Kelleman and newly appointed SEPTA GM Scott Sauer for your advocacy.

I was honored to address the Alliance of Bikers Aimed Toward Education (ABATE). Motorcycle safety is a bipartisan issue and I will continue to fight for it as Majority Chair of the Transportation Committee. Remember to share the road with motorcycles as summer heats up!

My colleagues and I toured SEPTA's Jefferson and 30th Street Stations to learn more about SEPTA's passenger rail operations. I even got to ride inside the locomotive! Thank you to Interim General Manager Scott Sauer for showing us around.

I recently met with the American Society of Civil Engineers about the current state of Pennsylvania's infrastructure. Whether it's roads, bridges, trains, buses, ports, or airports, we all rely on accessible and reliable transportation infrastructure every single day.

A million people ride SEPTA every day! It doesn’t matter if you’re a commuter, a tourist, or one of the over 300,000 employees in Center City that depend on public transportation, I’m working to make sure the ride you count on is there when you need it. youtu.be/175eV9NcfGc

Michael Anderson from the Arc of Philadelphia recently visited me. Michael frequently makes the trip from Philadelphia to Harrisburg to advocate for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Congratulations to Archbishop Ryan High School's JV Cheerleaders on winning their first national title at the 2025 NHSCC in Florida! Your hard work and dedication has paid off. It was a pleasure to recognize you at the State Capitol in Harrisburg!

As a father of 5, I couldn’t bear to have an empty seat at the dinner table. For those that have lost loved ones to drunk drivers, the pain is unimaginable. I was honored to be part of a public hearing in Harrisburg that is working to make our roads safer.

Public transit is crucial for many Pennsylvanians. Folks that rely on public transit can't wait for sustainable funding to get to their jobs, or their doctor's appointments. I'm calling on the #PaSenate to do the right thing and pass adequate funding for public transportation. youtu.be/MM-5WM-3Wjw

Public transit's effect on PA's economy cannot be understated. From getting people to work, creating jobs and contributing to our state's revenue, we need to fund public transit to move PA forward. www.pahouse.com/Neilson/InTh...
