SEPTA, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, is a regional public transportation provider serving nearly four million residents across five counties in the Philadelphia area. It operates a comprehensive network of services including buses, rapid transit, commuter rail, light rail, and electric trolleybuses. As a major public authority, it is also responsible for maintaining and developing its infrastructure, facilities, and vehicle fleet.

The organization is notable as a critical piece of public infrastructure, providing essential daily mobility for one of the nation's largest metropolitan areas. Its operations are vital for the regional economy, connecting workers to jobs, students to schools, and residents to services across southeastern Pennsylvania.

SEPTA has recently been in the news due to labor developments with its workforce. In mid-November 2025, multiple news outlets reported that the authority's largest union conducted a vote among its members to authorize a potential strike. This action serves as a significant step in ongoing contract negotiations between the transportation authority and its employees, though service continues while talks proceed.
