The House Resolution introduced by Representatives Neilson, Waxman, Giral, Cepeda-Freytiz, Hill-Evans, and D. Williams recognizes March 18, 2025, as "National Transit Worker Appreciation Day" in Pennsylvania. This resolution highlights the vital role that public transit workers play in the lives of nearly 1 million Pennsylvanians who rely on public transportation daily. It acknowledges the efforts of over 16,800 transit employees, including bus and train operators, shared-ride drivers, and maintenance workers, who facilitate more than 237 million trips annually, connecting individuals to employment, education, healthcare, and recreational activities.

The resolution also addresses the challenges faced by public transit workers, including increasing incidents of violence and disruptions that jeopardize their safety. By designating a specific day to appreciate these essential workers, the resolution aims to raise awareness about the importance of investing in public transportation infrastructure and supporting the workforce that ensures its smooth operation. The House encourages all residents and riders in Pennsylvania to express their gratitude to public transit workers for their contributions to the community and the economy.
