Josh Shapiro’s plan to increase the state share of public transit funding by 1.75% – a $282.8 million investment , and nearly $1.5 billion in new state funding over five years -- in transit systems that Pennsylvanians rely on. “Public transit is a necessity for many hardworking Pennsylvanians, who rely on it to get to work or school, or to move around their cities and towns.
