You can find the interactive SEPTA Metro map at ! It's packed with renderings on what new signage at select stations may look like, information on how individual lines are branded, and how these lines connect to the frequent bus network. 🗺️ (11/12)

A common pain point we keep hearing about is that one line can have many different names. Many frequent riders refer to the "Market-Frankford Line" as "The El," and it doesn't help that the name used by Google Maps ("MFL") doesn't appear on any signage either. 🤔 (4/12)

As part of this, stations and vehicles are getting new signage as well. (We're gonna make sure no one will ever get lost at 15th/City Hall station again!) ✨ (9/12)

The proposed solution is to have a number that indicates the service, and for each individual service to be a different line. This is a flexible system that can be extended across all metro lines, and it's future-proof, too! 🔢 (7/12)

SEPTA Metro is a proposal centered around the goal of designing a transit system that is easier to navigate and understand! Some changes include new route designations, easier-to-understand signs, and more! ⬆️⬇️⬅️↘️ (2/12)

New above ground beacons will be placed near station entrances to make it clear that there is a station there, and to indicate the lines that serve that station. (I like to call these the forbidden lolipops! 🍭) (10/12)

With the recent awarding of FRA grant money, SRPRA is pushing this project forward in hopes of reaping the many benefits this corridor will create: a $1.4 billion increase in incomes for residents, $1 billion in property investments, and less pollution for SE Pennsylvania.

Excited for when the new SEPTA wayfinding releases. The YAC provided comments and feedback to SEPTA and we are proud to have been a small part of contributing to a more comprehensive system.

This is a win for riders and ease of system navigation on @SEPTAPHILLY ! Wayfinding, the ways/tools/systems people use to find their way through a space, can be unnecessarily complicated. Shout out to @lexbylexpowers and team for their hard work.

Furthermore, at the time an extension of the M to KOP was still on the table. These new names are 100% future proof. They allow for possible extensions without confusion since letters like M don't represent a final stop on the line. Great work @SEPTA !

These letters were deliberately chosen for their ability to transcend language. These may be hard to accept at first but the choices made were good. Choosing a long name for a line is not going to help new or old users who don't understand english to navigate the system.

In addition to the lost revenue, SEPTA plays a huge part in taking cars off the road. In 2018, SEPTA prevented 2,516,416,821 pounds of CO2 from entering the Pennsylvanian atmosphere. SEPTA continues to lower its emissions through initiatives every year.

Its a shame that this contract didn't come to fruition. With SEPTA's regional rail fleet quickly aging and possible updates on reimagining regional rail coming soon, SEPTA could have really used some new additions to the fleet.

SEPTA’s fare restructuring can help replace flawed in-person hearings with fair public input |...

If SEPTA does this right, other public agencies can learn from its improved communications.
