Hello All:
For those of you who say there are no employment opportunities for women in Philadelphia, this should be of special interest:
Now, if this doesn't apply to you, please don't let it sit - pass it on, email it to a friend - make sure the women in your circle, community, etc, who may have daughters, sisters, nieces, etc., get a copy of this. This was sent to me courtesy State Rep. Stephen Kinsey's office - but is open to women all over Philadelphia:

SEPTA Key Travel Wallet Minimum Load/Re-Load Lowering to $1.00 at Station Kiosks
|
|
In response to customer feedback, SEPTA is lowering the minimum load for the Travel Wallet on SEPTA Key Cards to $1.00
at station kiosks. The previous minimum load was $5.00.
SEPTA has been testing $1.00 minimum
loads at selected kiosks this spring, and it is now available for
customers at 12 stations on the Market-Frankford and Broad Street Lines.
Current locations include Frankford, 69th Street Transportation
and Olney Transportation Centers, and 52nd Street, Walnut/Locust,
Snyder, 15th Street, Ellsworth/Federal, Spring Garden (BSL), North
Philadelphia, 60th Street and 30th Street Stations.
The $1.00 option will be added at more
station kiosks each week, and it will be available at all
Market-Frankford and Broad Street Line stations by Monday, July 8. The
$1.00 load option is available for customers using cash, debit
or credit cards for transactions at SEPTA Key Kiosks.
SEPTA is making this change in response
to feedback from customers who have asked for a lower minimum load. With
the $1.00 option, customers have more flexibility to add funds to their
Key Card as they travel. By using the Travel
Wallet on the Key Card, customers ensure that they get the discounted
$2.00 single-ride fare and eligible $1.00 transfers.
This is the latest change made to the
SEPTA Key in response to customer feedback - and the second aimed
specifically at addressing the concerns of riders who may need to
replenish their Travel Wallet on a daily or per-ride basis
with cash. SEPTA took a first step in this direction last year in
lowering the minimum Travel Wallet load from $10 to $5.
SEPTA reminds all customers to register
their SEPTA Key Card as soon as they purchase it to protect against loss
and theft. Also, by registering within 30 days of their purchase,
customers will receive a credit to their Travel
Wallet for the $4.95 new card fee.
SEPTA App Beta Testers Wanted –
SEPTA is also looking for customers to
help test new functionality of the Official SEPTA App for iPhone and
Android. Interested customers are encouraged to register to be Beta
Testers by filling out this survey:

SEPTA Completes Sustainability at Southern District Bus Depot
|
|
SEPTA recently celebrated the completion of
three sustainability projects at its Southern Bus Depot
as part of its
award-winning sustainability plan, SEP-TAINABLE. The projects unite
SEPTA's commitment to the environment and financial responsibility.
With these projects, SEPTA has transformed the more than
100-year-old facility into one of the most sustainable facilities in the
transit industry.
First, SEPTA launched twenty-five
Proterra Battery Electric Buses (BEBs). The buses will run on routes 79
and 29. While buses contribute to 44 percent of SEPTA's emissions, these
buses provide a zero-tailpipe emissions alternative.
The BEBs highlight SEPTA's commitment to reduce carbon emissions. As
Christine Knapp, the Director of the Office of Sustainability for the
City of Philadelphia stated, "Nationally, transportation represents 28
percent of greenhouse gas emissions, compared
to just 17 percent in Philadelphia.” The project will remain budget
neutral thanks to a grant from the Federal Transit Administration's
(FTA) Low or No Emissions Program (Low-No Grant). SEPTA now has the
largest fleet of BEBs on the East Coast.
Second, SEPTA inaugurated its Southern
Bus Depot Stormwater Retrofit Project. This project will capture and
manage more than seven acres of water on-site in a surface-level
bioretention basin and two large underground retention
basins. The system will filter and slowly release stormwater into the
sewer system, reducing combined sewer overflow during high-rainfall
events and keeping Philadelphia's waterways cleaner. The project was
undertaken with financial support from the Philadelphia
Water Department, which manages the city's "Green Cities, Clean Waters"
stormwater management plan.
Finally, SEPTA partnered with PECO and
Constellation Energy, a Private Energy Service Company (ESCO), to
finance energy-saving capital upgrades in the bus depot. These capital
upgrades include: high-efficiency LED lighting, advanced
controls, HVAC upgrades, and building envelope improvements. The
improvements will reduce SEPTA's energy demands, emissions, and will
reduce utility costs by more than $200,000 annually.
