Shared-Ride Program – Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority

As of July 1, 2024, CCT Connect officially rebranded to SEPTA Access. Vehicles will still be branded as CCT Connect until further notice.

The Shared-Ride Program (SRP) is a door-to-door ridesharing service offered on a space-available basis with limited driver assistance. This service is for any Philadelphia resident who is 65 or older. Reservations must be made in advance. The service is for travel within the City of Philadelphia, and to anywhere within three miles of the city’s border (Bucks, Montgomery and Delaware counties). For Shared-Ride Programs outside of the City of Philadelphia, contact your county’s coordinator.
