WTS Programs Committees Presents:
Investing in SEPTA: Building the Future of the Region
The Racquet Club of Philadelphia
215 South 16th Street
Public transit does more than move people from place to place. It helps connect communities, supports local businesses, and plays a major role in the region’s growth and quality of life.
Join us for a conversation about SEPTA’s future and the investments shaping the Greater Philadelphia region. From station upgrades and new vehicles to critical infrastructure improvements and emerging technologies, SEPTA is making significant investments to improve service and reliability for years to come.
You’ll learn how transportation projects help drive economic growth, improve connections across the region, support sustainability goals, and make it easier for people to live, work, and travel. The session will also highlight the partnerships that make these projects possible, bringing together engineers, planners, policymakers, and community leaders.
