I'm thrilled to announce my new bill to expand local funding options for public transit. Our agencies, such as @SEPTA, @CATABUS, and Pittsburgh Regional Transit, are lifelines for PA residents. Our local leaders know the needs of their constituents best. #TransitFunding

No matter what team you are cheering on this Sunday, taking public transportation to and from your #superbowlLVII party is a game-winning decision! Stay safe and enjoy a convenient, affordable ride by taking advantage of transit in your community.

Two #SEPTA Trolley Operators - Devante Parker and Soup Davis - teamed up to decorate a trolley for #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth. The labor of love was inspired by Parker’s aunt who is a breast cancer survivor. #ISEPTAPHILLY #waytogo

I am saddened by the sudden, tragic death of my colleague, MARTA CEO Jeff Parker. I will be forever grateful for the support and friendship he gave me as a new CEO in transit. His leadership will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Jeff’s family and MARTA's employees.

As we look to the future, cutting edge rail technologies promise to bring clean, safe, reliable service to transit customers. Last week, I joined @GovernorTomWolf, @PennDOTSec Yassmin Gramian & @CouncilmemberJG to hear how @POTUS's infrastructure plan will impact American life.
