The operating budget will allow SEPTA to increase service levels—without fare increases—in support of the region’s recovery from COVID-19, and also reflects initiatives launched as part of a new Efficiency and Accountability program, according to the agency.
Among the projects included in SEPTA’s capital budget and 12-year program, which totals $7.4 billion:
• $203.66 million for trolley modernization through 2033, with $30.14 million set aside for FY22. Work includes infrastructure upgrades in areas such as communications, signals, power, ADA stations, bridge improvements and maintenance facilities.
• $97.3 million for rail fleet replacement through 2033, including trolley cars, the Market-Frankford Line fleet and Silverliner IV Regional Rail vehicles. For FY22, $1.76 million is budgeted.
