Advisory: Possible Strike of SEPTA's Philadelphia and Suburban Division	Print Issue
,

In preparation for a potential strike of SEPTA by its City and Suburban Division transit employees, the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) has developed strike contingency transportation plans for faculty and staff. Although SEPTA and union leadership are still negotiating and no strike deadline has been announced, a strike could be called.

In the event that a strike is announced, the contingency plan will be posted on the Penn Transit website, www.upenn.edu/transportation

Please note that SEPTA's Regional Rail and LUCY® will continue to operate in the event of a strike.

Contingency transportation services operated by Penn are intended to aid employees with their commute to and from work, but are in no way a direct replacement for SEPTA services. Employees should plan alternative means of transportation if the services provided by the contingency plans are not convenient for your use.

We will continue to closely monitor the negotiations between the parties and continue to relay important information, including any updates to the contingency plans, as appropriate.
