Event tonight with @SEPTA GM Scott Sauer hosted by @5thSq @transit4philly was great! The future of SEPTA is bright 🧵
With Democrats in control of the PA Senate, a funding deal is very likely, however Sauer didn't want to rely on that as a given. He emphasized that SEPTA will continue to earn the trust of the public and the taxpayer.

What ideas do you have for how the new PA Legislature can help SEPTA/Transit? (besides closing the funding gap)
The best performing Republican in PA on election day is pro-SEPTA and serves on the SEPTA board.
Shapiro, man.
Philly's only Republican state representative wins reelection by 15 points -- in a district that Shapiro wins by 23 points.

I'm late to the party, but now that control of the PA Senate has flipped, we should get long term funding for SEPTA next year!!
SEPTA's august '26 ridership numbers are strong, NBN seems to be helping ridership (substantial increase from both '24 and '25): wwww.septa.org/news/ridershi…
So in the future, every 15 mins, trains would run from:
S1: Norristown > Manayunk > Center City > Airport
S2: Wawa > Media > Center City > Chestnut Hill
S3: Paoli > Ardmore > Center City > Fox Chase
We're basically getting 3 new subway lines!!

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.
