Bill-Signing Ceremony for McGarrigle Bill Allowing Disability License Plates for Parents of Disabled AdultsLegislation I sponsored allowing parents or guardians with adult children in their care to receive disability license plates will be signed into law by Gov. Tom Wolf on Monday. My office has been working with a mother in our district seeking a disability license plate for her vehicle as she is the primary caretaker for her adult son. Her son is 21 and lives with blindness, autism and cerebral palsy. Because her son is an adult, PennDOT refused to provide the disability plate. Senate Bill 983 will provide access to vehicle disability license plates to parents, including adoptive parents or foster parents, of adult children in their care who qualify for a disability license plate. Attending the ceremony will be a mother and adult daughter living with disabilities, as well as advocates from The ARC of Delaware County and Values into Action. I’ll bring you photos and an update in my next e-newsletter.

SEPTA Senior Key Photo Day November 2I’m hosting a SEPTA Senior Key Photo Day on November 2 with State Representative Jamie Santora. The event will be held from 10 a .m. to 4 p.m. at my district office, 5037 Township Line Road (Corner of Township Line Road & Dermond Road). As SEPTA prepares to introduce its new, modern fare payment and collection system – SEPTA Key – we want to assure seniors, age 65 years or older, that they will be able to continue to ride free at all times on all SEPTA transit services (bus, Market-Frankford Line, Broad Street Line, trolley and the Norristown High Speed Line). Regional Rail fares for seniors will continue to be $1 for rides within Pennsylvania. Senior riders who do not want to use their PA Driver’s License or state-issued ID card can register and have their picture taken for the new, free SEPTA Key Senior ID card. SEPTA KEY Cards will be mailed at a later date. A photograph is needed to receive the SEPTA KEY CARD. Please contact my office at 610-853-4100 to schedule an appointment ASAP.
