EXTON, PA (January 28, 2026) – Nearly 300 local senior citizens will soon be saving money on SEPTA trips after State Senator Carolyn Comitta’s office helped them apply for SEPTA Senior Key Cards.
Through the SEPTA Senior Fare program, which is funded by the Pennsylvania Lottery, seniors 65 and older ride the SEPTA transit and regional rail system for free within Pennsylvania. Trains to and from New Jersey and Delaware using a senior card are charged at half fare.
At a recent event at the Chester County Library in Exton, Comitta’s team assisted 284 seniors in applying for their free SEPTA Senior Key Cards.
“Whether it’s getting to a doctor’s appointment, running errands, visiting family, or taking a day trip to the city, SEPTA Senior Key Cards help our residents get wherever they need to go,” said Comitta, who serves on the Senate Aging and Youth Committee. “My office is always ready to help our older neighbors obtain their cards, and I am grateful to the team at the Chester County Library in Exton for welcoming us for this event.”
In addition, Senator Comitta’s staff connected residents with other state resources and programs that can help.
Seniors who couldn’t attend but are interested in applying for a free card or renewing their existing one can contact Senator Comitta’s office at 610-692-2112 or pasenatorcomitta.com/contact.
Appointments are available at either her West Chester district office or one of eight monthly outreach office locations.
