Sending my condolences to the family of the person lost in the parking garage collapse and I hope our brave and dedicated rescue workers find the two still missing. This is a tragedy and we are mourning as a city today.

I want to thank our brave first responders for their quick response to the scene of yesterday's plane crash. Thankfully, there were only minor injuries and minimal damage. My thoughts are with everyone affected by the scene and hope for a smooth and fast recovery for all.

I've just learned of the plane crash in our neighborhood tonight. Sending prayers that there are no serious injuries. I will continue to provide updates as more information comes in.

With literacy programs, children aren’t just learning new words; they are learning comprehension and critical thinking skills. Reading introduces them to new concepts, enhances creativity, and encourages them to think outside the box. www.pahouse.com/Neilson/InTh...

It's important to acknowledge the strides we've made in our transit systems throughout the state & where improvement is needed. More funding is needed for mass transit, especially ride-sharing programs that help our seniors & disabled communities. youtube.com/shorts/Mrcma...

Doesn’t matter where you live across the commonwealth, someone is reliant on mass transit in some way. From getting to work, school, or doctor’s appointments, planes, trains & buses keep our lives moving. youtube.com/shorts/KFWTO...

I'm grateful for a governor who refuses to sit on the sidelines. Real leadership means getting it done when others won't. Thank you, Gov. Shapiro, for stepping up for SEPTA riders. repneilson.com #SEPTA youtu.be/6U_54Q6dpZk

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...

Always great to see an old friend, colleague and neighbor - Welcome back to the House floor, former Speaker Dennis O'Brien! Thank you for continuing your commitment to public service through your advocacy for autism and disability awareness.

This week, I travelled to Pittsburgh to meet with the Port of Pittsburgh Commission. We were lucky to spend time on the river to learn about the Port's mission to invest in our water ways for economic, recreational and environmental benefits.

September is College Savings Month - the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the Keystone Scholars program — which provides a free $100 scholarship for every baby born to a Pennsylvania family.

Please keep our officers and their families in your thoughts and prayers!! Our first responders are hero's and deserve to get home to their families after work just like the rest of us. www.wfmz.com/news/ap/ap-n...

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
