Delivering for YOU in Harrisburg
Protecting SEPTA
We all know SEPTA is struggling financially but its trains and buses provide a critical service to our neighbors and fuel our economy. The current financial challenges surrounding mass transit in our area are serious and need immediate attention. House Democrats and Governor Shapiro remain committed to finding a sustainable funding solution for SEPTA.
I assure you; I will do all I can to find a solution to this crisis in the near term. We cannot fall behind other metro areas in the country and leave thousands of our residents without a viable transportation option.
