@AnthonyScottJr7@phriendlyphotog@BlvdSubway Semis are great for freight between cities, but once your inside the city it becomes more appropriate to route smaller vehicles from a centralized distribution center
@HassanMilikin@SEPTAYAC Every resident benefits from septa. Even if you don’t use it your life would be so much worse without it. Non-motorists have to subsidize car infrastructure! Everyone needs to pay their share.
Today, I sent a letter to the Governor urging him to use all available tools—including flexing federal infrastructure funds—to prevent devastating SEPTA service cuts and fare hikes. Nearly a million Pennsylvanians rely on public transit every day. We can’t afford to let them down.
Yesterday I co-sponsored a resolution calling on Governor Shapiro to flex federal highway funding to SEPTA.
City Council boosted funding for SEPTA in June, and the State House voted to send a bill investing in public transit to the PA State Senate, but Senate Republicans refused to call it up for a vote.
With the PA General Assembly gone for the year, we need Governor Shapiro to do what needs to be done -- before SEPTA's death spiral begins.
Not long ago, @GovernorShapiro reopened a portion of I-95 that collapsed in Philadelphia, in just 12 days. This portion of I-95 serves an estimated 160,000 vehicles a day. Now we need him to fund SEPTA, which serves over 700,000 people per day. https://t.co/1iekpgOnI7
