PHILADELPHIA (February 3, 2026) – After a year of tremendous uncertainty for transit riders across the Commonwealth, SEPTA is grateful that Governor Shapiro has renewed his commitment to finding a sustainable statewide transit funding solution. Combined with SEPTA’s ongoing austerity and reform measures, the additional funding proposed by the Governor would enable SEPTA to balance its budget and maintain critical services without further depleting critical capital funding.
New, dedicated funding is needed now to improve the state’s transportation infrastructure and ensure stronger, better-connected communities throughout Pennsylvania. SEPTA continues to make substantial progress in improving safety, reliability, and operational efficiency – the cornerstones of our daily work and the foundation for transforming how we do business moving forward. Transit is worthy of the Commonwealth’s investment, and we look forward to working with the Governor and our legislative delegation to ensure it remains a vital part of Pennsylvania’s transportation network.
