SEPTA Forward: Bus Revolution - Tradeoff Activity

Welcome to the Bus Revolution! We can't build a better bus system without you.

Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts on how we can best address the needs of our riders. As a thank you, you'll be entered into a drawing for monthly SEPTA passes!

Transit agencies like SEPTA have limited resources and they must use them as effectively as possible. This means we must be thoughtful about how we trade-off – or prioritize - different aspects of the current bus system. Below are some questions to help us understand your values so we can use those to drive the Bus Revolution forward.
