Official:Authorizing the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority ("SEPTA") to construct, own and maintain digital outdoor advertising signs, encroaching on the public right-of-way at various subway, elevated train and rail entrances in the City, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Council President Clarke
Introduced: November 19, 2015
: Committee on Streets and Services
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2012–2015 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill allows SEPTA to install digital outdoor advertising signs at various subway and train entrances in Philadelphia.
