Title: IN HISTORIC PHILADELPHIA, SEPTA IS BUSY MOVING INTO THE FUTURE
Abstract: Modernizing the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), the fifth-largest transit agency in the U.S. and among the oldest, is a big job. It operates buses, trolleys, trackless trolleys, elevated subways and regional rail over five counties in Pennsylvania, connecting to regional rail service in neighboring cities in New Jersey and Delaware. Labor contracts, purchasing strategies for capital equipment and fare increases are among the elements of the reorganization. New technology innovations include talking buses using GPS and a Web site, , that allows trip planning.
