Lawsuit: Black SEPTA employee alleges racial bias kept him from promotion

The number of incidents recorded is the highest the state has seen since record keeping began about 30 years ago.

In November, FOTP rejected an offer from SETPA that would’ve increased wages by 13% over three years and included a $3,000 signing bonus.

The move is one of many designed to improve safety on the SEPTA system which will see spending on safety efforts increase by 50%.
