A stronger future for our region starts with a vision. SEPTA has connected people in Southeastern Pennsylvania to jobs, opportunity, and the neighborhoods they call home for more than 60 years. Now we have an opportunity to build on that legacy. Accelerate is #SEPTA’s vision for a safer, more reliable, accessible, and best-in-class transit system. One that strengthens Pennsylvania’s economy, helps our entire region grow, and makes Greater Philadelphia an even better place to live, work, and do business. This is what’s possible when we invest in #publictransportation. And we’re ready to get to work. Watch the video to see SEPTA’s vision for the future. #ISEPTAPHILLY #Accelerate #TheFuture #BestInClass #Invest

SEPTA would like to update customers of changes to its plans for fare increases and Regional Rail service cuts that were scheduled to go into effect next week. Per a ruling from Common Pleas Court on Friday #SEPTA was ordered to halt any further additional service cuts and fare increases that were not already in place as of Friday, August 29. SEPTA will comply with the Court’s Order, which means that fares and service levels will stay as they were on Friday: Fares: The 21.5% fare increase that was scheduled to begin on Monday, September 1 has been put on hold. All fares will remain at current prices until further notice. Regional Rail: The 20% service cut scheduled to begin on Tuesday, September 2, has been put on hold. Service on Tuesday will follow the same schedules that were in effect last week. Bus & Metro: The 20% service cut that started on August 24 will remain in place. SEPTA will begin supplementing bus service to schools under an agreement with the City of Philadelphia on Tuesday, September 2. SEPTA is currently facing a $213 million structural budget deficit. The future of a proposed state funding solution that would help close that deficit remains uncertain. For more schedule information please visit SEPTA.org or check the official SEPTA App. SEPTA will continue to provide updates with any new developments. #ISEPTAPHILLY #HowWeRoll #FundSEPTA

With no state funding commitment in place #SEPTA must move forward with 20% service reductions and a 21.5% fare increase. Ten days from now—on August 24— vehicles across our Bus and Metro network will run less frequently and with 32 fewer bus routes. On September 1 base transit fares will rise to $2.90 and Regional Rail fares will increase by 21.5%. Regional Rail service cuts begin September 2. State lawmakers are still negotiating a budget for Pennsylvania and funding for SEPTA is still on the table. If that funding is approved—we will work as quickly as possible to reverse the service cuts but it would take time for us to do so. The service cuts are the first of several steps SEPTA will take this year to fill a $213 million budget deficit—absent a legislative solution. Additional measures include a second wave of service cuts on January 1, 2026 that include the elimination of five Regional Rail Lines, a 9PM curfew on all rail services, and the elimination of 18 additional bus routes to achieve an overall 45% reduction in service. We understand that these measures will cause great hardship for our riders and for the city and Southeastern region as a whole. These cuts are new territory for all of us. We will keep fighting to bring service back and deliver the SEPTA that our riders, city, and region deserve. There is still time to make your voice heard. Please ask Governor Shapiro and your PA State Senator and Representative to support new funding for public transit. wwww.septa.org/fundingcrisis… #ISEPTAPHILLY #HowWeRoll #FundSEPTA
