SEPTA announced proposed fare adjustments, including the elimination of a number of discounts, as the Authority faces a $240 million annual budget deficit with the exhaustion of federal COVID relief funds. Complete details on the fare proposal, including fare tables, tariffs and public hearing information are available on SEPTA’s website at https://wwww.septa.org/bulletins/fall-2024-proposed-fare-adjustments/
Public hearings will be held on October 16 at 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Interested individuals will be able to participate in-person, at SEPTA Headquarters, or virtually via WebEx. Individuals may submit comments via email on the proposed fare modifications to operatingbudget@septa.org, provide oral comments via voicemail by calling 215-580-7772, or file written comments by mailing to the Director of Operating Budgets, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, 1234 Market St., 9th Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19107. To be included in the official public record, comments must be received by Friday, October 18, 2024, at 5:00 PM. Information on how your constituents can provide comment and feedback is available on the Fall 2024 Proposed Fare Adjustments page on SEPTA’s website.
Pending approval by the SEPTA Board on November 21, these proposed fare adjustments would go into effect on December 1.
