[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

Due to flight delays and cancellations, I took the Amtrak train from DC to Georgia.

The sweetest people run the train.

And the morning views of my north Georgia mountains made me smile and warmed my heart.

Gavin Newsom just signed the most transformative transit oriented development bill in the country.

LEGALIZE IT

[Hayden @the_transit_guy]

It should go without saying that transit should be as safe as possible and anyone who breaks that contract should see justice.

Where am I?

[Next Philly Mayor 🏆 @nextphlmayor]

Grow Philly to 2 Milly.

Up-zone transit corridors. Eliminate parking minimums. Bring back the tax abatement.

Let builders build… the ZBA process is broken.

Philadelphia City Council should be supporting housing, not blocking it.

Ride the ride. Fund SEPTA.

For generations, East Harlem has been promised a new subway, but leaders failed to get it done. The time for promises is over. The time for building is here.

Today, the Second Avenue Subway extension is officially moving forward!

[Hayden @the_transit_guy]

For as long as I live, I’ll never understand why mass transit is expected to turn a profit while we give roads and highways $250B+ annually with zero expectation of profit. Either it all should or none of it should.

[PA SDCC @PaSDCC]

They ignored the crisis.
They underfunded the system.
They offered nothing but rate increases.

Statement from Shapiro spokesperson @manuel_bonder on the transit bill on the Senate floor:

“While Governor Shapiro appreciates Senate Republicans finally acknowledging the need to fund mass transit systems across the Commonwealth, this is clearly not a serious, long-term proposal that can pass both chambers. It’s time to get back to the table and keep working at it.” @fox43

[CBS Philadelphia @CBSPhiladelphia]

As SEPTA's funding deadline approaches, the Pennsylvania State Senate introduced a new plan to fund the transit system. But a spokesperson for Gov. Josh Shapiro called it "not a serious" proposal. https://t.co/EGOAtonoPK

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

Investing in mass transit shouldn’t be a partisan issue – it’s just common sense.

From PRT to SEPTA to transit systems across the Commonwealth — mass transit is the lifeblood of our economy and is essential to ensuring folks can get to where they need to go.

My proposal to fund mass transit has passed the House four times. It’s time for the Senate to take it up for a vote and get this done.

[M. Nolan Gray 🥑 @mnolangray]

Pennsylvania is low key the king of American urbanism. It's like a time capsule, you've got hundreds of little towns and dozens of midsized cities where normal middle class people are still living in townhouses, shopping at corner shops, and walking for a daily errands.
