Pennsylvania’s public transportation is moving toward the future, in part with additional and critically needed resources provided by Act 89 of 2013, the far-reaching funding plan that put transit on a more solid footing. The Commonwealth is very fortunate to have a world class transportation system, which adds value to the lives of millions of Pennsylvanians every day. This report shows you how transportation operates throughout our state. Innovations in public transportation help seniors travel safely to the grocery store, allow individuals to book shared ride trips online, and cost effectively get hardworking Pennsylvanians to jobs that drive our economy. This year, the Annual Performance Report reflects the advancements that have taken place, including regionalization and the implementation of cutting-edge scheduling software, solutions that streamline transportation systems and save Pennsylvanians money, while continuing to offer a superior customer product. Please use this document to see how Pennsylvania works for its residents. Included are transit agency performance reports published since the last year. These reports show how transit agencies compare against their peers on specific performance criteria. Capital highlights demonstrate how the added funding provided by Act 89 has been effectively managed to modernize agencies’ fleets, facilities, and other capital improvements. These improvements will be long lasting and allow agencies to maintain a state of good repair into the future. Additionally, the Bureau of Public Transportation revamped its website, www.penndot.gov/doing-business/transit, adding greater transparency and connection with customers. Many dedicated individuals have contributed to the success of public transportation in Pennsylvania, from vehicle operators, mechanics, and clients to communities and private organizations. Pennsylvania continues to invest in its future with pride through quality public transportation programs and capital projects. Sincerely, Leslie S.
