West Chester, Pa. (October 25, 2023) – To help local seniors access free and discounted rides on SEPTA, state Senator Carolyn Comitta is holding a Senior Key Card signup event on Wednesday, November 1 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Coatesville Public Library.
“From traveling to medical appointments to visiting family members to running everyday errands, having a SEPTA Senior Key Card helps get our older residents where they need to go for free,” Comitta said. “If you would like to obtain your free Senior Key Card or need to renew your current card stop by our application event in Coatesville.”
Seniors aged 65 and older are eligible to apply for the cards, which allow them to ride for free on all SEPTA routes for bus, trolley, Broad Street Line, Market-Frankford Line, the Norristown High Speed Line, and regional rail within Pennsylvania. Regional rail trips to or from New Jersey or Delaware using the Senior Key Card are charged at half fare.
To apply, seniors must bring a form of identification that verifies their age. This includes a driver’s license, photo identification card, birth certificate, passport, or Social Security statement of age.
At the event, seniors who already have Senior Key Cards will also be able to renew them. In addition, the office of U.S. Representative Chrissy Houlahan will be available to assist with federal constituent matters.
The Coatesville Area Public Library is located at 501 E. Lincoln Highway, Coatesville, PA 19320.
