Our Work
Educating Young People
We table at universities across Philadelphia teaching young people how to ride SEPTA and educating them on the benefits of the UPASS program! Keep an eye out for us on your campus. Don’t be shy! Stop by and introduce yourself. We are always looking for young people to join our organization and make lasting change in the region.
Connecting with Students
We continue working with student governments across Southeastern Pennsylvania to advocate for the adoption of SEPTA’s UPASS program. We refuse to stop until every student has affordable access to SEPTA and gains access to everything our region has to offer.

Advising SEPTA
Advising SEPTA is our most important function as an organization. Every fiscal year, we offer comments on SEPTA’s budget proposal which are compiled by out SEPTA Affairs Committee. We are often briefed on SEPTA initatives and given numerous opportunities for input on projects like SEPTA Metro.
Tracking Pro-Transit Legislation
We love reminding our legislators that transit is our #1 issue. We research and track pro-transit legislation at all levels of government. Whether it be in City Hall, Pennsylvania General Assembly, or the Federal Government, transit friendly legislation has the power to improve the lives of all young people in the region.
