Nearly 300 residents of Chester County aged 65 and older have applied for senior discount cards through the SEPTA Senior Fare program. This initiative allows eligible seniors to ride SEPTA’s transit and regional rail services free of charge within Pennsylvania.
The program is funded by the Pennsylvania Lottery and aims to provide affordable transportation options for older adults across the state.
**Why this matters**
The SEPTA Senior Fare program helps reduce transportation costs for seniors, promoting greater mobility and access to essential services. By offering free rides, the program supports independence and connectivity for older residents in Pennsylvania.
