Rep. Sean Dougherty

Pennsylvania state representative proudly serving the people of Northeast Philadelphia.
We finally passed a #PaBudget. It's late and that is unacceptable, but this bipartisan budget will move Northeast Philadelphia and all of Pennsylvania forward. This budget invests in education, childcare, and fixing roads and bridges without increasing taxes or draining the state's rainy day fund.

The time for games and politics is over. Yesterday, we passed a budget for a third time this year in the PA House. My neighbors, schools, non-profits, and businesses are struggling because we are putting politics over people. Now, our Senate colleagues need to do their job and pass this budget.

PennDOT has approved SEPTA’s request to use capital assistance funds to resume all routes on September 14. However, this is not the long-term solution we need for public transit funding, and there will be fare increases intact with this.

My bipartisan bill (HB 1788) marks the fifth time we’ve passed legislation for public transit funding. This bill would not only help SEPTA, but transit operations, including roads in rural, urban, and suburban Pennsylvania, across all 67 counties.
