The Republican-controlled Pennsylvania Senate passed a bill on Tuesday that would fund SEPTA and avoid major service cuts at the end of the month, but it's expected to face challenges from Democrats in the state House.

The PA Senate passed a different SEPTA funding proposal than that of the House, where the Senate proposal is expected to face opposition.

Pennsylvania’s Republican-controlled Senate has passed a funding bill that would largely use capital funding to maintain transit operations, a move the state’s governor and Democratically-controlled House say is not a viable solution to the funding shortfall that could lead to major service cuts in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
