The SAC is an independent, citizen-run, community advisory committee of customers with disabilities and disability advocates representing individual riders and about 50 different disability service organizations throughout the five-county SEPTA service area. The SAC sets its own agenda and policies. Founded in 1973, SAC is the oldest such organization in North America.
The SAC advocates with SEPTA on accessibility issues and policies. We are an effective voice with SEPTA management and SEPTA Operations. Each month, SEPTA reports service information to SAC and solicits advice and information from SAC on current and future services, facilities and equipment for regular fixed-route and ADA paratransit transportation.
