Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

Reducing the number of people shot in Philadelphia to 1,093 during the past 365 days is hardly an occasion to celebrate but I am still feeling #thankful to everyone working in gun violence prevention and for the sharp downward trend now heading into its third year: www.pcgvr.org/philadelphia...

Text of a Philadelphia City Council bill laying out how Governor Shapiro can save SEPTA and why it's crucial he does:
5thsqadvocacy.org 5th Square Advocacy @5thsqadvocacy.org · Nov 15
Full resolution text has just been posted. Bill #241075

phila.legistar.com/LegislationD...
Calling on Governor Josh Shapiro and the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission to stave off fare hikes and service cuts to SEPTA by flexing federal infrastructure funds from state highway projects to local transportation authorities WHEREAS, In July 2024, the Pennsylvania General Assembly passed a nearly $50 billion budget that failed to secure stopgap funding for SEPTA, which is facing a fiscal cliff due to federal COVID relief funds exhausting in April 2024; and WHEREAS, State lawmakers agreed to work towards a funding solution for state transportation funding in Fall 2024. However, as the 2023-2024 legislative session comes to an end, the Pennsylvania General Assembly will most likely adjourn without a deal to fund the state's 57 transit authorities, which in total serve a million daily passengers across Pennsylvania; and WHEREAS, In the wake of this decision, SEPTA has been sounding the alarm about fare hikes and steep service cuts the system will have to put into place if funding is not secured. These fare hikes and service cuts will begin in January 2025 and could cause $40 to $50 million in annual revenue losses as the system sheds ridership; and WHEREAS, If the state fails to secure transit funding, SEPTA could be forced to reduce service by at least 20 percent. This will lead to fewer buses and trains, longer wait times, crowded platforms and transit vehicles, understaffed stations, and "unusable service on weekends" according to SEPTA officials. People will be less inclined to take transit, exhausting our City's roadways and driving jobs out of region; and WHEREAS, These service cuts could engender a downward spiral in ridership numbers that have already been recovering slowly from their pandemic-level nadir. This would deny Southeastern Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth's most productive region, safe, efficient, affordable, and accessible mass transit; and WHEREAS, Ridership collapse will reduce farebox revenues, forcing SEPTA to raid its capital budg will delay projects and increase the repair backlog, potentially creating long term damage to the transit system's viability. A lack of a funding solution for SEPTA will reduce fare revenue and make SEPTA even more reliant on state appropriations; and WHEREAS, Fares could increase by as much as 31 percent, to $3.00 per ride from $2.50, and TransPasses could increase to $120 monthly. This will place an added financial burden on the hundreds of thousands of working Philadelphians who rely on SEPTA every day. These added costs could make it harder for lower income residents to access jobs, education, and essential services. Moreover, the fare hikes could deter some from using public transportation altogether; and WHEREAS, In anticipation of the fiscal cliff, SEPTA has already implemented cost-cutting measures, raising parking fees at Regional Rail stations, and raising its stabilization and capital funds to avoid even bigger fare hikes and service reductions to this point; and WHEREAS, Once SEPTA starts on this downward spiral, it will be nearly impossible to reverse the decline. The challenges that accumulate-be they financial difficulties, declining ridership, or maintenance issues-will only compound over time, making it increasingly difficult to restore the system to its former efficiency and reliability. These realities necessitate creative and dramatic solutions to SEPTA's funding problems; and WHEREAS, Pennsylvania received about $4 billion in funding from the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Though this funding is often referred to as "highway funding" because of the federal government's 80:20 recommended ratio for splitting such funding between highways and mass transit, under Title 23 the federal government has always permitted states and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to "flex," or reallocate highway funding from the Federal-Aid Highway Program toward transit and multimodal capital projects overseen by the Federal Transit Administration; and… File #: 241075, Version: 0 WHEREAS, According to analysis from the Urban Institute, SEPTA could increase its operation funding by 23 percent if highway funding was flexed to public transportation; and WHEREAS, Governor Shapiro and the DVRPC flexing state funding for highway projects towards local transit agencies like SEPTA would provide a critical source of financial support for a transit agency whose funding has been passed over through multiple rounds of budget negotiations and which has not been benefited from state authorization of counties to levy local taxes to fund transit authorities; and WHEREAS, Flexing highway funds towards SEPTA would represent a commitment to environmental sustainability as well as investment in the region of Pennsylvania that generates the most amount of economic activity in the state. Nearly 800,000 people ride SEPTA every day, four times the amount of daily users of 1-95; and WHEREAS, While highway projects in places such as Philadelphia and Harrisburg continue to face community opposition over environmental and displacement concerns, polls suggest the public view public transit favorably and support efforts to expand service; and WHEREAS, FIFA selected Philadelphia as the site of several World Cup matches in part because of the city's transit capacity. As 2026 approaches, Pennsylvania needs to be mindful of how important a reliable public transportation system will be to ensuring domestic and international visitors-many of the latter coming from countries with extensive and high quality mass transit systems-are able to get around the Philadelphia region without causing too much stress and congestion on our highways and road infrastructure; and Philadels sore, clean esse, he perial mublic transportation for many hit do the per tormance of Governor of Pennsylvania should take any step necessary to ensure SEPTA receives the funding it needs to operate at its current level of service; now, therefore be it RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF TH…

Reach out to Gov. Shapiro and ask that he flex federal highway dollars to public transportation to avoid major service cuts and fare increases.

Call (717)787-2500

Text (717)788-8990

Call script 👇
Call Governor Shapiro - Fund PA Transit! Without new money from the PA state government, SEPTA will be the first to fall: 29% fare increases in January, and 20% service cuts in June. All other agencies will do the same in the months that follow. Since the pandemic, transit service and ridership has yet to fully return due to permanently-changed travel patterns, while drivers and conductors remain understaffed with wages and safety conditions lagging. Federal pandemic relief funds are running out, so action must be taken quickly. Governor Shapiro and the state legislature failed to include necessary transit funding in the budget passed in July. This Fall, the PA legislature has functionally ended their session without solving the problem. There is no more time: we need the Governor to use executive authority now to keep transit, our economies, and our communities from failing on his watch. The governor has tools to act unilaterally to flex or use discretionary money. He can direct PennDOT to allocate funding from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and “flex” it to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to fund transit. But he must act now. Without increased operations funding, we face service cuts and fare increases for large systems like SEPTA, and an inability to keep up with service needs in rural systems like Westmoreland County Transit Authority. All agencies will shed good, union jobs. This is a stopgap measure, to manage the state legislature’s irresponsible delay in developing a sustainable, dedicated transit funding solution. Pennsylvania’s residents will still need the legislature and the governor to pass a long term funding solution in the Spring of 2025. The Governor and the PA State Legislature should act on that information and ensure that our Commonwealth provides the resources to meet the mobility needs of residents in all 67 counties. Call the Governor, and tell him we need to Fund PA Transit! Click here and here for background on the issue. TAKE ACTION 1. Call Gov. Shapiro at (717)787-2500 OR Text at (717)788-8990 2. Ask to speak to a staffer about a legislative issue. Or, if it goes to voicemail, leave a message. Remember to leave your name, ZIP code and city, and a call back number if you are leaving a voicemail. 3. Follow the script below. 4. If you'd like, pass along any notes or information from the call to connor@transitforwardphilly.org. We'll log it as we continue to advocate. CALL SCRIPT "Hi, I'd like to leave a message for Governor Shapiro. "My name is [FIRST NAME] [LAST NAME], and I am a resident of [YOUR CITY/TOWN/TOWNSHIP + ZIP CODE] in Pennsylvania. I'm calling to ask Governor Shapiro to exercise his authority to flex federal highway dollars to public transportation to avoid major service cuts and fare increases. The PA legislature has ended its session without producing meaningful legislation, so you must step up and use executive powers to direct PennDOT and MPOs to reopen their TIPs to temporarily reallocate money to transit. Governor Rendell took exactly this action in 2005 and threatened it again in 2010 to respond to crisis. Governor Shapiro's action will stabilize our agency and ensure [YOUR TRANSIT SYSTEM] can make good on improvements to safety and cleanliness, while improving staffing and stabilizing good, union jobs to help buses and trains run on-time. The entire commonwealth worked to fix I-95 when it collapsed, despite serving one-fifth as many people. (160k daily I-95 vs 791k daily SEPTA) Why can't we do the same for transit? "Public transportation is essential to Pennsylvania's economic competitiveness and overall success: [CHOOSE ONE OR MORE FROM THE BELOW] ➔ It eases traffic, lowers pollution, and creates and sustains living wage jobs. ➔ It attracts major employers and events ➔ It connects elders and people with disabilities to family, culture, healthcare, and jobs. ➔ It provides stable, union jobs
