Rep. Greg Scott March 10, 2026 | 3:45 PM
NORRISTOWN, March 10 -- With the re-election of Ken Lawrence as SEPTA board chair, state Rep. Scott has released the following statement:
“On behalf of my office and the 54th District, I’d like to extend a hearty congratulations to Plymouth Meeting resident Ken Lawrence for his re-election as SEPTA board chair.
“I was able to see firsthand the dedication, passion, and knowledge that my constituent Ken has for our district while he served as the first Black Montgomery County commissioner. He has also proven himself to be a strong advocate for public transit, having been part of the SEPTA board since 2011, along with time spent on boards like the Greater Valley Forge Transportation Management Association.
“Transportation is key in Montgomery County, where many residents use SEPTA as a method for both work and pleasure. My district has every mode of transport, except for trolleys, with major transit hubs located in Norristown, Plymouth Township, and Conshohocken. SEPTA fuels our communities and the region.
“I’ve been heavily involved in attaining more funding for transit, including a yes vote on House Bill 1364, which would increase the state’s Public Transportation Fund. I’m putting my full weight behind this issue because of leaders like Ken being in place at SEPTA.
“I know that with Ken’s re-election, the SEPTA board is in good hands as it navigates the future of transit in Montgomery County and beyond. I wish him the best of luck in his new term.”
