Vision & Goals
Our
Vision
The Southeastern Pennsylvania region places transit at the core of a resilient, prosperous, and equitable community for everyone.
SEPTA is more than transit; it is the way we connect to each other.
SEPTA Forward is organized around three goals that work together to achieve a vision:
Develop a Proactive Organization
We are an agile and responsive organization that makes the most effective use of our resources. We invest in our people and work to build a diverse, inclusive, and empowered workforce that takes pride in serving the people of Southeastern Pennsylvania.
Provide an Intuitive Experience
Our system is easy-to-use for all, regardless of familiarity, language, or ability, welcoming riders from across the world. We provide convenient services and the right information, at the right time, for a smooth and enjoyable journey.
Deliver a Seamless Transit Network
Our services work together, creating one unified, equitable network serving all types of trips, no matter where you are or what mode you choose. We anticipate changing needs and adapt services responsively to keep our region moving throughout the 21st century.
Our Mission
SEPTA moves the Southeastern Pennsylvania region forward by providing safe, reliable, and accessible mobility choices for everyone.
We support equity and enhance quality of life by connecting people with opportunity, catalyzing the economy, and sustaining our environment.
SEPTA Spirit
No matter which role our employees play in keeping the region moving forward, six values guide everything we do. We take pride in providing an essential service for millions across the Southeastern Pennsylvania region. We show up to work every day to keep the region moving by living out these qualities. They represent both who we are and who we aspire to be as an organization.
