Our Transit for All PA! Campaign Rally & Lobby Day a huge success! Hundreds rallied at the Capitol. We called for the Transit for All PA! Funding Package to grow transit access across state.
Jack - Can you help keep the pressure on and take action on the NEW LETTER CAMPAIGN TODAY?
TAKE ACTION! [[link removed]]
Our goals for the rally were twofold: one, to grow support for the Transit for All PA! funding solution [[link removed]] and show that in tandem with the Governor’s transit funding proposal, it could restore service in the state’s largest economic hubs back to 2019 levels and expand it an additional 10% in every other rural and small community in PA.

Our second goal was to grow our grassroots movement of transit riders, transit workers and supporters to show that transit is not just an urban issue, that public transportation operates in every single PA county, and that those communities are ready to mobilize to win.
We're proud to say that on all accounts, our Transit for All PA! Rally & Lobby Day was a resounding success.

Our Movement is strong. Will you join this Member Drive to make it stronger?
My name is Joan Monroe. I live in Trafford, PA, a little borough east of Allegheny County. Public transit is important to me because it is the lifeblood of my community.
It has never been more urgent to support PPT’s work. You can join for just $2.75—the current cost of a PRT bus fare! That money goes directly towards advocacy for a transit budget that moves ALL Pennsylvanians—whether they live in big cities, or smaller boroughs and towns, like me.
Everyone deserves access to public transportation. Will you help us make that dream a reality?
Join PPT during our Membership Drive! [[link removed]]
