Rep. Joanna E. McClinton June 19, 2025
This week in Harrisburg!
We had a great week in session commemorating Juneteenth and fighting for Black maternal health!
Funding our public transit
This week the House passed the Public Transportation Trust Fund Transfer Act to invest almost $300 million into mass transit funding for all 67 Pennsylvania counties!
Without this funding, hundreds of thousands of cars would beon the road - disrupting your commute – billions of dollars in economic impact would be lost, and hard-working Pennsylvanians would be out of a job.
Even if you don’t ride SEPTA, public transit affects you – funding transit means more money in our communities, more people on the job, and safer commutes for everyone.
Join me and demand action from the PA Senate to fund mass transit across Pennsylvania!
