Today, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro\u00a0announced that his 2024-25 budget proposal will include his plan for the first increase in the state share of public transit funding in over a decade. Governor Shapiro\u2019s proposal will increase the state share of public transit funding by 1.75% \u2013 a\u00a0$282.8 million investment, and nearly\u00a0$1.5 billion in new state funding over five years, in transit systems that Pennsylvanians rely on in his 2024-25 budget proposal.<\/p>\n
The Governor\u2019s plan would deliver the funding needed to avoid immediate service cuts or fare increases on SEPTA and would create a more balanced and stable funding structure for SEPTA for the future.<\/p>\n
