A lot of grown men and women who don’t ever ride public transit because they’re too scared to ride public transit have a lot of opinions about public transit lmao

Since I was elected, my Republican colleagues spew how they are repulsed by “SEPA’s spending.” I just circulated a memo that would ensure that each region in PA funds its own schools,transit and police using their own resources. See below the proposed (not final) regions ⬇️

It’s FAFO season. The gloves are off.

Losers? Sen. Kim Ward & Senator Joe Pittman for actively championing the states decline and not supporting the economic engine young Philadelphians rely on. Winners? Literally no one. Maybe their weirdo donors who think subsidies for me, not for thee? 🤷

A great piece that shows how we got here. SEPTA isn't really asking for "more money." Transit systems are looking for 75% of the revenue they lost when Act 89 expired. inquirer.com/transportation…

Fun fact: Democrats have controlled the Pennsylvania State Senate a total of *14 years* since the Civil War

Public transit keeps Pennsylvania moving. I joined WHYY to discuss SEPTA cuts & how the republican “solution” creates MORE problems. Watch the full interview ⬇️ whyy.org/episodes/septa…

I appreciate this thoughtful analysis by Jon Greeting at The Philadelphia Citizen of my recent proposal to Index State Tax Collections. This is an out of the box solution to enable southeastern PA to fund the services and projects we want - and that includes SEPTA thephiladelphiacitizen.org/southeastern-p…

Today is the last day SEPTA is running a weekday schedule before the cuts. There's a chance we never see SEPTA run as many buses and trains as they do today ever again.

I fear some of us may never call it that, just like I still say “Wachovia Center” 😅

Good morning, Fund SEPTA. That’s the tweet
