SEPTA helps students with disabilities improve their transit experience
SEPTA provided staff and a bus to a local high school to teach students with disabilities how to ride SEPTA.  Students are taught how to identify routes, pay fares and how to get on and off the bus using a wheel chair.  NBC10 aired the event and has more information on their website.  While the goal of the event was to help students understand how to ride SEPTA, its message was one of increasing mobility for student with disabilities.
