Governor Josh Shapiro directed Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Secretary Mike Carroll to allocate $219.9 million in additional capital funding to the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) to support urgent safety upgrades and infrastructure improvements. Following recent orders from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Shapiro Administration's action will ensure SEPTA can comply with federal orders, accelerate needed repairs, and maintain safe, reliable service for the nearly 800,000 Pennsylvanians who rely on SEPTA every day. The Governor made the announcement at SEPTA's Frazer Shop & Yard in Chester County."Nearly 800,000 Pennsylvanians rely on SEPTA every single day - to get to school, to work, to medical appointments, and wherever else they need to go safely and reliably," said Governor Shapiro. "Mass transit is absolutely critical to our Commonwealth's economy, our communities, and the everyday lives of Pennsylvanians. My Administration is stepping up once again to provide SEPTA with the funding it needs to complete critical repairs, meet federal safety requirements, and restore full service - but we need a long-term solution. I will keep fighting for additional recurring funding for mass transit in Harrisburg so that we can invest in mass transit systems, including SEPTA, all across the Commonwealth."Speakers Include:Marian Moskowitz, Chester County Commissioner & Vice Chair of SEPTA's BoardGovernor Josh ShapiroScott Sauer, General Manager, SEPTAPennDOT Secretary Mike CarrollMayor Cherelle L.
