Transit Riders Denounce Senate Republicans for Passing a Bill that Would Deepen Transit Crisis:
Yesterday, the PA Senate leadership approved a bill [[link removed]] that raids the capital budget of the Public Transportation Trust Fund – which is already woefully underfunded for current transit maintenance and capital needs - and diverts that funding to both roads and bridges and transit operations.
The Transit for All PA coalition denounces this transparent, rushed and cynical effort by Senate Republicans to feign action and run down the clock to service cuts. Today marks 43 days since the budget deadline and only 2 days before SEPTA’s cuts are locked in; we see how the Senate majority party has failed to act in good faith and instead remained in recess until this 11th hour, only now producing this appalling legislation.
