National Transit Career Day is Thursday, November 13, 2025.
The public transportation industry employs more than 383,000 people nationwide with career opportunities spanning various skill levels and professional backgrounds.
National Transit Career Day is about building the future workforce of public transportation by connecting with people who want meaningful careers while serving their communities. The public transportation industry blends innovation with public service—giving professionals the chance to work on projects that directly improve quality of life for millions of Americans every day.
Our transit system is the lifeblood of southeastern Pennsylvania’s economy but this level of service would not be possible without a strong, diverse, and highly skilled workforce to move people efficiently throughout the region.
SEPTA’s mission aims to rebuild and reinvest for the future so you’ll do meaningful work in a sustainable environment to provide the people of the Philadelphia region with a world-class transportation system.
SEPTA offers a wide variety of professional opportunities. Our core business is transit and with five modes of service we employ Operators, Engineers, Conductors, Transportation Managers, Control Center Dispatchers, and the like. But it takes a host of other specialties including Architects, Engineers, Vehicle Engineers, Accountants, Planners, Maintenance Personnel, Graphic Designers, Attorneys, IT Specialists, Trainers, and Transit Police to keep the 6th largest system in the nation moving.
We are excited to announce that we are hiring for critical positions within our organization. If you are passionate about making a difference and looking for a rewarding career we invite you to apply: https://jobs.septa.org/go/View-All-Jobs/8606400/.
