FISCAL YEAR 2021 OPERATING BUDGET Fiscal Year 2022-2026 • Financial Projections Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority FISCAL YEAR 2021 OPERATING BUDGET Fiscal Year 2022-2026 • Financial Projections Essential Service Provider to the Region Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) presented a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award to Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, Pennsylvania, for its Annual Budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019. In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, as a financial plan, as an operations guide, and as a communications device. This award is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current budget continues to conform to program requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award. i Return to Table of Contents Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority Board Members Chairman Pasquale T.

Richards Deputy General Manager - Treasurer Richard G. Burnfield General Counsel Gino J. Benedetti, Esquire Controller to the Board Stephen A. Jobs, CPA Secretary to the Board Carol R. Looby Return to ii Table of Contents Return to Table of Contents Given the uncertainties surrounding the health and economic recovery rate of the region, and taking into consideration the delayed implementation of the fare increase, it is clear that actual ridership and operating revenue ultimately realized in Fiscal Year 2021 will differ from the adopted baseline budget. The remaining $552 million in CARES Act operating subsidies that SEPTA is eligible to receive, careful management of operating expenses, and aligning service to more closely match ridership requirements, should enable the Authority to mitigate operating revenue shortfalls that will occur during Fiscal Year 2021. During the COVID-19 pandemic, SEPTA has proven to be an essential business partner to the communities the Authority serves by providing necessary transportation to keep life-sustaining businesses functioning. SEPT A's heroic frontline employees continue to play a crucial role getting other frontline workers including healthcare providers and other essential workers to their places of employment in a manner that prioritizes safety and cleanliness above all else. Going forward, the safety of our customers and employees will continue to be a top priority as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. SEPTA management has been working closely with all employees, union representatives and public health officials to implement routine testing and proactive measures to keep our customers and employees safe, including increased sanitization and deep cleaning measures of equipment system-wide. Some of our ongoing efforts include sanitizing every vehicle at least twice each day, sanitizing high touch surfaces on equipment, and working around the clock disinfecting and cleaning all open stations. SEPT A has also prioritized personal safety while riding our vehicles. We require facial coverings for all employees and customers when on SEPTA property, imposed passenger capacity limits on buses, trolleys and the Norristown High Speed Line, and installed social distancing decals on vehicle seating to indicate appropriate spacing. The Authority has also partnered with the Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium to provide testing for employees in communities that we serve. All of our decisions are guided by information from the Pennsylvania Department of Health and CDC to help ensure a safe and healthy environment. SEPT A is closely monitoring the course of the crisis and updating procedures and protocols accordingly. SEPTA's commitment to rebuilding the system was strengthened due to transportation funding received through passage of state legislation under Act 89. Over the next two years, the Authority will take delivery of 71 new paratransit vehicles, 45 multi-level regional railcars, and 140 hybrid-electric buses. The new buses will increase the size of the energy efficient hybrid bus fleet to approximately 90% of SEPTA's overall bus lV Return to Table of Contents SEPTA FY 2021 Operating Budget Table of Contents PREFACE GFOA Award .............................................................................................................. i SEPTA Board Members and Officers......................................................................... ii General Manager’s Memorandum ............................................................................ iii Table of Contents ..................................................................................................... vi 1.

    At-A-Glance MEDIA INFORMATION GUIDE SEPTA.ORG/MEDIA UPDATED June 2018 THEN & NOW HISTORY On February 18, 1964, the Pennsylvania General Assembly established the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) to provide public transit services for Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties. The Center City Commuter Tunnel (CCCT) which was opened in 1984, joined the previously separate Penn Central and Reading Railroads by turning the two terminal stations into through stations, resulting in a more efficient system. TIMELINE: To build the network of services our customers know today, transportation companies were acquired through our history. 1968 – Philadelphia Transportation Company (PTC) 1969 – Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Company (Red Arrow) 1976 – Schuylkill Valley Lines (Frontier) 1983 – Regional Rail (Conrail commuter rail services) 1984 – Center City Commuter Tunnel (CCCT) opened 1985 – Airport Regional Rail Line opened SERVICE AREA Today, SEPTA is the nation’s sixth largest public transportation system, and the largest in Pennsylvania, serving the five- county area of Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery Counties (2,202 square miles) with a population of approximately four million. The system also extends into central New Jersey and northern Delaware. SEPTA’s vast network of fixed route services includes bus, subway, trolley, trackless trolley, high speed and Regional Rail and serves approximately 1.3 million customers daily. SEPTA is also one of the region’s largest employers, with a workforce of more than 9,600.

  • Philadelphia City Guide
    Philadelphia City Guide Page | 1 Philadelphia Rocky statue outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art Philadelphia located in southeastern Pennsylvania, on the southern fringe of the mid-Atlantic region, is the fourth-largest urban area in the United States and the country's fifth-largest city. Often referred to as "Philly," the official city boundaries are actually quite large—what started as a much smaller city began annexing the surrounding districts and suburbs in the mid-19th century, and Philadelphia the city is now coterminous with Philadelphia the county. Altogether, Philadelphia's metropolitan area encompasses a total twelve counties in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Districts As a result of Philadelphia's size, there are very large residential districts most visitors will never see. On the other hand, you could roam for miles, see distinct changes in atmosphere, architecture, and demographics, and still be within the city. For most tourists, the landing point will be in Center City, the "downtown" section of Philadelphia. It is bounded by South St. to the south, the Delaware River to the east, the Schuylkill River to the west, and Vine St. to the north. The 2005 Center City population, at nearly 100,000, makes it one of the most populated central business districts in the U.S, just behind New York City. Other popular districts to visit are Old City, West Philly, and South Philly. In the recent years, Northern Liberties (in the North region) has been gaining traction as a hip, trendy place. Page | 2 Center City East Philadelphia's beautiful City Hall, the Convention Center, Chinatown, Washington Square West, the gay-friendly Gayborhood, and the Broad Street Arts Corridor.

  • Testimony of Jeffrey D. Knueppel General Manager Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority
    Testimony Of Jeffrey D. Knueppel General Manager Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority Philadelphia City Council Fiscal Year 2020 Operating Budget April 30, 2019 Good morning Council President Clarke, Transportation Committee Chair Johnson, members of City Council and other guests. I am Jeff Knueppel, and I am honored to come before you today as the General Manager for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA). I am joined by SEPTA Philadelphia Board member, Michael Carroll, Deputy Managing Director, Office of Transportation, Infrastructure and Sustainability (OTIS). I am pleased to submit testimony supporting the Authority’s $87.6 million Fiscal Year 2020 Operating Budget request and provide the members of Council with an overview of SEPTA initiatives and milestones achieved during the past year. SEPTA’s operating budget is funded through subsidies from local, state and federal governments, the fare box and other revenues. The City’s $87.6 million contribution represents six (6) percent of the Authority’s total operating budget, and enables SEPTA to meet its state legislatively mandated requirement to secure local matching funds to match state operating subsidy dollars of approximately $739 million. SEPTA’s Fiscal Year 2020 operating budget maintains current service levels, with no increase in fares for customers. For SEPTA’s Fiscal Year 2020 capital budget, the City’s $4.58 million contribution will support a Capital Program of approximately $675 million. SEPTA is investing in critical infrastructure in Philadelphia and advancing projects including: modernization of 30th Street Station on the Market–Frankford Line, expansion of the Wissahickon Transportation Center, accessibility improvements to Susquehanna-Dauphin and Tasker-Morris Stations on the Broad Street Line, ongoing rehabilitation of the 15th Street and City Hall Stations complex, and continued improvements to the Center City Concourse network.
