Philadelphia Shared-Ride Program Advisory Council

PSRPAC is an independent, citizen-run, community advisory committee representing riders in Philadelphia ages 65 and older. This is an avenue through which senior citizens, agency representatives, and advocates can obtain information, voice their concerns, and make suggestions to enhance paratransit and fixed-route SEPTA service in Philadelphia County for themselves and others.

The committee partners with other groups, including the Mayor’s Commission on Aging, the Mayor’s Commission on People with Disabilities, and the SEPTA Advisory Committee for Accessible Transportation (SAC), to advocate on behalf of seniors and individuals with disabilities.

PSRPAC sets its own agenda and policies. At each meeting, SEPTA provide reports to PSRPAC about service information, follows up on members’ questions and concerns, and provides updates on developments and changes of interest to the senior community in Philadelphia.
