Bridgeport council endorses resolution urging sustainable funding for SEPTA
Summary
The Bridgeport Borough Council adopted Resolution 2025‑14 expressing support for a sustainable funding solution for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA).
Bridgeport Borough Council on June 24 adopted Resolution 2025‑14 expressing support for a sustainable funding solution for SEPTA, the region’s public transit authority.
Council members said the resolution is intended to give local legislators support and credibility when advocating for funding in Harrisburg; the transcript records a council member thanking the president for adding the late submission to the agenda and noting that State Representative Tim Briggs and Senator Cappelletti have expressed support for SEPTA funding.
Council discussion tied the item to the borough’s goals of walkability and transit access, with members noting that reliable public transit helps residents who commute to the city and can reduce household car dependence.
The motion to adopt the resolution was moved and seconded on the record and carried with no recorded opposition. The resolution is an expression of local legislative support and does not itself change borough budgets or municipal authority over transit funding.
