From Philly and the Pa. suburbs to South Jersey and Delaware, what would you like WHYY News to cover?
After a summer that showcased SEPTA’s ability to move record crowds, advocates worry the momentum could be threatened because the new state budget again failed to provide dedicated transit funding.
Stephen Bronskill, a representative for Transit Forward Philadelphia, told the Studio 34 audience that the newly signed state budget again omitted additional transit funding.
Bronskill said SEPTA was forced to restore service that had been slated for cuts by relying on its own budget after lawmakers failed to provide additional funding.
That stopgap funding will expire in July 2027, leaving the agency to face another fiscal cliff unless the state acts.
