Transportation

Residents in need are selected at random to get free rides on SEPTA. Some advocates say those with the greatest need should get priority.

The Federal Aviation Administration reported staffing-related delays on Friday at airports in Newark, New Jersey, Boston, Nashville, Houston and Dallas.

The transit agency has until Nov. 14 to inspect more than 100 remaining cars. Until then, commuters can expect crowded trips.

Philadelphia is poised to once again have a proper bus station for Greyhound and other intercity carriers — back in the same spot where the terminal previously operated.

Less than half of SEPTA’s 50-year-old fleet of Silverliner cars have been inspected. And out of 108 inspected cars, only 35 have returned to service.

As the federal government’s shutdown continues into a fourth week, TSA workers in Philly are feeling the effects.

The FAA reported issues at Newark's international airport, as well as in Los Angeles, Texas and Florida. Air traffic controllers are working without pay during the shutdown.

SEPTA said it will postpone buying new buses, upgrades to the Bristol Regional Rail Station and a new facility at its Frazer Railroad site.

Advocates said the road’s design allows drivers to act recklessly, leading to unsafe conditions for pedestrians and cyclists.

Illegally parked cars and crumbling sidewalks make for dangerous conditions for Philadelphians with limited mobility.

City officials said that over the past two years, Parks and Recreation has issued more than $1 million in fines for illegal dumping.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blamed "a slight tick-up in sick calls" due to the shutdown.

The federally mandated inspections of SEPTA’s Silverliner trains come after several fires. New sensors will be added to warn of a possible fire.

Following the death of a cyclist in the park, advocacy groups have partnered to call for enhanced safety measures there.

SEPTA maintains trains are safe, but acknowledges need for $1.8 billion in new equipment.
