Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Dashboard

Our agency-wide key performance indicators (KPIs) show us if SEPTA’s Five-Year Strategic Plan Fiscal Years 2027 through 2031: From Back-to-Basics to Best-in-Class is working. They help us track our progress and make results easy to see and measure. Learn more about the way we’re building on progress.

Each KPI is linked to a specific target. We focus on results that matter most to our employees, our riders, and our funding partners. Using these measures allows SEPTA to see how we improve over time. KPIs also help us stay open and honest about our work. We will check our progress regularly and share updates with our employees and the public.
