Thomas Fitzgerald

I'm the Transportation Reporter, covering SEPTA and the other ways we get around. Or sometimes how we're stuck in place. I delve into how transportation policy choices affect people's lives and the built environment.

While at The Inquirer, I've reported on all levels of government: Philadelphia City Hall, Harrisburg, and Washington, D.C. I also covered national and state politics as the chief political writer.

Before joining the paper, I was a rewrite person and political reporter for the Bergen Record in North Jersey, covered the environment for The Times of Trenton, and was a reporter and Washington correspondent for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

I graduated from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor with a bachelor's degree in political science, and I live in Burlington County with my family.
