SEPTA announced that it has reached a tentative contract agreement with TWU Local 234 for employees the union represents in the City, Suburban and Frontier Divisions.

The tentative agreement allows for service to continue without disruption on all SEPTA modes of travel. The agreement will be finalized pending ratification by union members and approval by the SEPTA Board.

The tentative agreement was reached following discussions mediated by Governor Josh Shapiro over the weekend.

The tentative contract is for two years. It includes wage increases and a temporary pension enhancement for TWU members who retire during the term of the contract, while maintaining healthcare and other benefits. It also adds a program designed to improve absence management, and increases the pay differential for night shifts – two measures that are expected to help SEPTA ensure it has adequate staffing available as it works to improve service reliability.

The agreement will now go to union members for ratification, and then to the SEPTA Board for a vote.
