The Authority is an instrumentality of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, created by the State Legislature in 1964. SEPTA is a vital regional asset, with a service area that includes the heavily populated southeastern Pennsylvania counties of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia. This area encompasses approximately 2,202 square miles. The SEPTA system serves over one million passenger trips daily with approximately 334 million (unlinked) passenger trips provided in Fiscal Year 2011. SEPTA’s service also extends to Trenton and West Trenton, New Jersey and Newark, Delaware. SEPTA is a multi-modal transit system as it provides a vast network of fixed-route services including 117 bus routes, subway, and subway-elevated lines, 13 regional rail lines, 8 trolley lines, 3 trackless trolley routes, an inter-urban high-speed rail line, and customized community service. In Philadelphia, City Transit Operations serves a network of 84 subway, subway-elevated, trolley, trackless trolley and bus routes. In Fiscal Year 2011, approximately 922,000 (unlinked) passenger trips were generated per weekday. SEPTA’s Railroad Operations serves all five counties with a network of thirteen regional rail lines, serving approximately 123,000 (unlinked) passenger trips per weekday in Fiscal Year 2011. This service also operates to Newark, Delaware and to Trenton and West Trenton, New Jersey. Suburban Operations (Victory and Frontier Divisions) provides service in the suburbs, north and west of the City of Philadelphia, with a network of 46 bus, trolley, and heavy rail routes generating approximately 68,000 (unlinked) passenger trips per weekday in Fiscal Year 2011. Customized Community Transportation (CCT) serves Philadelphia and the surrounding counties and schedules approximately 7,100 customized weekday trips for seniors and persons with disabilities. SEPTA’s six small bus circulator and shuttle services connect fixed route operations to business, health and educational centers, as well as to park and ride facilities. In Fiscal Year 2011, these services provided transportation for approximately 3,700 passengers per weekday. 5 STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN 6
