| 351 | Roby Jacobs | I use SEPTA daily to commute to work at a Retirement Community. Rail services already were cut. Adequate Funding and a vibrant system is needed around Philadelphia to be able to go to work(keep jobs!), to keep the roads from too much traffic, to cut down on use of gas/global warming, |
| 352 | Annette W. Epps | The need for Public Transportation in Philadelphia is so great that I can't see why there is no dedicated funding for it. School children and single parent families that can't afford car insurance use public transportation often. I couldn't afford to save enough to purchase my house without public transportation. |
| 353 | Diane Scott | The public needs good, RELIABLE transit to get to their jobs. Without this, families suffer. |

| 355 | Liz Tierney | Please don't cut funding for SEPTA services! |
| 356 | Dhara Parikh | The fares have gone up a lot in the past couple of years while services were increased. But I think rising the fare again while cutting down service is not fare for the thousands of people who have no way around the city without taking SEPTA. Since the gas prices have gone up drastically, SEPTA's business/profits have grown. But if the fairs are raised and services are cut, SEPTA will face a drastic decrease in riders and therefore will loose more money than they are trying to save with these cuts. Therefore I strongly protest the inflation of the fares for both the rider’s benefit and SEPTA’s benefit. |
| 357 | Anonymous | This public transportation crisis involves all of us. Jobs, school attendance, health, highways, the environment, etc. will be negatively influenced if public transportation is cut. |

| 366 | Joseph Matje | Please help Septa receive the money they require to run an efficient public transportation system. Philadelphia and the bordering counties count on Septa to move the region forward into the 21 Century. |

| 370 | Mary Beth Murphy | Public transit is the most sensible thing we can do for Pennsylvania and the world. I can't believe we have to sign a petition for this. So, do the right thing and support public transit. |

| 372 | Peter Javsicas | The disastrous consequences of under-funding Pennsylvania transportation will result in legislators losing at the polls - just as they did with the midnight pay raise. |

| 374 | Anthony P. Cooper | Do something ratioinal for a change...a permanent funding source for public transit. |
| 375 | Anonymous | It's time, ladies and gentlemen to provide a stable source of funding for public transportation. Our civility, economy, safety and comfort depend on it. |
| 376 | Anonymous | We need a healthy public transit to keep our cities working and thriving and to combat global warming! |

| 380 | Roxanne Andrews | Too many Philadelphians rely and depend on public transportation. And because many suffer with the high cost of the fare, they struggle to retain/sustain employment as well as realize required medical attention. Raising fares will cause further economic/financial hardship. |
| 381 | Charlotte Glauser | Reliable public transit is necessary for all citizens, those who use it directly and those who are concerned about global warming, pollution and crowding on ALL roads in the Commonwealth. |

| 388 | carl greer | we need continued transit at its current levels please support transit. dedicated funding is a must for Penna. |
| 389 | Stephen L. Wood | The time has come to realize that permanant, reliable funding for public transit is necessary for the future of Pennsylvania. |
| 390 | William B. Shuey | Funding transit is a wise long-term investment of our state's tax dollars. |

| 395 | Barry G. Smith | With gasoline prices on the increase and the potential reliability of oil from increasingly unstable
countries in the middle east and South Amreica on the increase, it is IMPERATIVE that we increase alternatives such as increased public transport services NOW and develop/build more alternatives to the private automobile!! |

| 397 | Monica Kauffmann Wynne | SUPPORT MASS TRANSIT.
Increase trains. Not only would trains reduce polution but could help eliminate road rage and frustrated drivers forced to drive I95 and I76. |
| 398 | Robert Forbes | Funding public transportation is a necessity. It enables those who can not afford to drive a car, those who have been denied driving priviledges, and those who need to get to work to do so.
Failure to provide this critical need diminishes the public well being of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. |

| 400 | David A. Walker, Jr. | Dear Representatives, commerce and quality of life in this country depend on a fully functioning infrastructure. From water and electricity to transportation, including road, mass transit, and the airways, people and businesses every day depend on their presence. In a time of increasing fuel prices, and more crowding of roads, it is in everyone's best interest to have frequent, convenient, and affordable public transit. Funding must be found and the economic, not to mention envirionmental and social, benefits are more than the initial investment.
Please make sure that long term funding for proper public transit is included in our state budget. Speaking for myself I am even willing to pay more taxes to support transit because I know the economic pay off benefits not only myself but others.
