Boasting a vast network of fixed route services including bus, subway, trolley, and Regional Rail, as well as ADA paratransit and Shared Ride programs, SEPTA, the nation’s sixth largest transit system, plays a critical role in making doing business in the city more accessible. This virtual meeting with SEPTA will give Chamber members insight into SEPTA’s procurement process and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program.
As a series of virtual programs, Doing Business with the City: Pathways to Procurement brings in department procurement leads to allow for Chamber members to learn the procurement process utilized by each department and build relationships with the decision makers.
Once your registration is received, we will share a calendar invitation with Zoom information the day before the meeting. Submit your questions for SEPTA to Maria Flores at mflores@chamberphl.com.
