| 402 | Levana Layendecker | I depend on public transit to get back and forth to work everyday. Unlike the members of the PA legislature, I am expected at my office five days a week, 52 weeks of the year. I also go to grad school on the weekends and a night. I can't afford this increase in fares or loss of service.
I hope that my elected officials prioritize the working people of Philadelphia, as much as they prioritized their merit-less pay raise. |

| 406 | Marvin Travick | We demand that all Representatives and Senators in the General Assembly of Pennsylvania give up their publicly funded transit--their cars and their reimbursements for travel--until they provided adequate, dedicated funding for public transit for all 38 transit systems in the Commonwealth.
MAKE DEDICATED FUNDING FOR PUBLIC TRANSIT ACROSS THE STATE OF PA, NOW!!!!! |

| 408 | Chris Sandvig | Not addressing the transit issue is the same as allowing the Pennsylvania economy to screech to a halt. Please address the transit issue now. |
| 409 | Anonymous | Public transit funding should be an important priority. |

| 415 | Stephen Campbell | As a daily rider of Philly's public transit system, I rely completely on SEPTA. Without it, I'd be driving to work on the already crowded Interstate 95.
Our legislators should know that public transit is what keeps PA's economic state at its best. Remember, reps., that you're working to serve the public - not yourself.
Go Dems! |
| 416 | Anonymous | The Philadelphia streets are jammed with traffic. If we retored better urban/suburban train service, old riders might possibly turn to this syster, For example we wanted to travel round trip from the R7 to Kimmel center, but we had to leave the house to early and could'n't catch the 1035 train and didn't get home until midnight. We moved to center city so that we could walk or tae a bus. Parking is very expensive and the streets are jammed after a concert. Before we moved I would have been happy to use public transportation. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\. stheato usnaelts |

| 422 | Margaret Arbo | Really? Who the hell do you "public servants" think you are? Always remember: we gave you your jobs. We may not let you keep them next election. |
| 423 | Andrew | SEPTA is vital to keeping Philadelphia alive and moving , the fare raise is going to be damaging enough on its own , the service cuts will be deadly !!
We dont just need to sustain this system it must be improved !
This funding is for the good of the entire states economy ! |

Dear State Senators/State Representatives:
I am writing in reference to the proposed SEPTA fare increases and service cuts because of SEPTA’s ongoing financial woes.
There are thousands of people here in the Philadelphia area, including myself, who do not drive and depend on SEPTA to get around. If SEPTA reduces service on some of it’s routes, it will completely devastate the entire area. Taking SEPTA saves me thousands of dollars in car maintenance, insurance, and upkeep, especially with the cost of gas today.
Besides Philadelphia; New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Minneapolis are the only other cities in the country that I know of that have public transportation in both the cities and the suburbs, which to me is a blessing. Many other cities aren’t so lucky.
I urge you to fight for adequate dedicated funding for not only SEPTA, but for every public transit service in Pennsylvania as well. Why should Gov. Rendell have to take money out of other projects that have been set aside for other matters, such as road repair? Public transportation is a necessity; it is not a luxury.
Sincerely yours,
Nan E. Fagan |

| 448 | Mark Shay | Or perhaps require lawmakers use the systems in their local and Capital districts |
