The House Resolution introduced by Representatives Neilson and others recognizes March 18, 2025, as "National Transit Worker Appreciation Day" in Pennsylvania. This day aims to honor the nearly 1 million Pennsylvanians who rely on public transportation daily and the over 16,800 dedicated public transit employees who ensure the safety, reliability, and cleanliness of transit systems across the state. These workers facilitate more than 237 million trips annually, connecting individuals to essential services, employment, and educational opportunities, thereby contributing to the economic growth and community connectivity in Pennsylvania.

The resolution also highlights the increasing dangers faced by public transit workers, including incidents of violence and disruptions, emphasizing the need for greater investment in public transportation infrastructure and support for the workforce. It encourages all residents and riders in Pennsylvania to express their gratitude to public transit workers for their vital role in keeping the state moving and acknowledges the essential services they provide.
