On Thursday, December 16th, the SEPTA of Directors will likely vote to cut all service by 20%, lay off workers and increase fares to $3 a ride. The only way to prevent this from happening is if the state legislature provides an additional $63 million dollars for next year\'s budget and comes up with a permanent solution to our region\'s public transportation inequities. This is why we have drafted the following petition:
\"John Perzel and the state\'s Republican leaders must come come up with a plan to permanently fix public transportation inequities for the Delaware Valley before fare hikes, layoffs and service cuts are enacted at SEPTA\'s board meeting on Thursday.\"
