SEPTA is facing a serious budget crisis: https://wwww.septa.org/fundingcrisis/ If a steady source of funding from Harrisburg does not come within the next two to six months, SEPTA will have no choice but to take the following actions in the name of balancing the budget, all with long-term consequences:
1. Abolish 50 bus routes
2. Abolish five Regional Rail Routes
3. 20% reduction in service on all remaining routes
4. All trains, trolleys, and subways sent home by 9 pm - no exceptions
5. Abolish all special services
6. Shutting down 66 stations
Since all other transit networks in Pennsylvania would suffer from similar consequences, along with Pennsylvania's entire economy, we need to treat this as if the Yellowstone Supervolcano is on the verge of erupting, so please contact your elected officials and apply pressure on them ASAP!!! https://www.pa.gov/governor/newsroom/2025-press-releases/former-govs--editorial-boards--and-business-leaders-support-fund.html
