Cephas: Transit is Personal

Philadelphia House Delegation    October 14, 2025 | 5:12 PM

State Rep. Morgan Cephas, chairwoman of the Philadelphia House Delegation, explains why funding public transportation is a personal issue for many legislators, including herself. It's about mobility; it's about opportunity. Recent delays, overcrowding, and cancellations on SEPTA's Regional Rail lines highlight why transit agencies can’t rely on flexing capital improvement funds to support their operating budgets. Cephas emphasizes that finding a stable, recurring funding mechanism for SEPTA—and all transit agencies across Pennsylvania—is essential.
