The Pennsylvania Public Transportation Association says hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians need public transit to transport them to jobs, healthcare, education, and other essential services.
They say 63% of riders do not have other transportation options, and more than half earn less than $50,000.
“This is not just a Philadelphia or Pittsburgh problem,” said Sheila Gombita, the Executive Director of Freedom Transit. “This is a Commonwealth problem from Beaver County to Bucks County, from Washington to Warren County, and everywhere in between, transit agencies for teetering on the edge of a fiscal cliff.”
“We can’t leave these folks standing along the roadside waiting for a bus that never comes because we failed to act here in Harrisburg,” added Lt. Governor Austin Davis (D). “That would be bad for the people of Pennsylvania and it would be bad for business here in Pennsylvania.”
Governor Shapiro is proposing adding more than $292 million for mass transit funding in Pennsylvania.
