Philly Braces for SEPTA Service Getting Slashed

SEPTA  is in trouble. The transit agency faces a $213 million budget deficit, and without an infusion of funds from the state in the next two weeks, service will be cut by 45% and fares will increase more than 20%. Host Trenae Nuri and executive producer Matt Katz break down what’s at stake for our region if SEPTA has massive cuts, what lawmakers are saying, and what you can do right now to make your voices heard about this.  For more information on SEPTA’s fiscal history and what you can do to voice your concerns, check out our article in the Hey Philly newsletter here.
