Due to the lack of state funding for transit, SEPTA is forced to close its $213 million structural operating deficit by cutting 20% of its service beginning August 24, 2025. This includes route eliminations, route shortenings, and overall reductions in service frequency.

SEPTA has created a guide to help riders plan ahead and provides information and tips for navigating the SEPTA app and SEPTA.org.

Even with careful planning, please allow extra time for your initial trips after the cuts go into effect due to likely crowding and delays.

For more information and the latest updates on these service cuts, please refer to septa.org/fundingcrisis and SEPTA.org
