PEER AGENCY COMPARISON  Realignment Plan No (FY2013) $1,400 Longer Necessary $1,200 $1,152  Advances State of Good $997 $957 Repair Projects to Improve $1,000 $815* Safety & Reliability $800  Doubles Annual Capital $600 Budget by 2018 $400 $304  Predictable, Bondable, $200 and Inflation-Indexed $0 Source of Funding Chicago New Wash. Boston Phila. (RTA) Jersey DC (MBTA) (SEPTA) (NJT) (WMATA)  Closer to Peer Agency *In 2013, Mass. passed a package totaling Funding Levels $800M per year, including ~$200M for MBTA Impact on SEPTA 5

SEPTA’S APPROACH TO ‘CATCHING UP’:  Work to Reduce $5 Billion Backlog  Model After Successful Stimulus Program  Immediately Address Key Issues Driving Realignment Plan  Advance Design & Engineering for Longer-Term Transformative Projects ‘Catching Up’ 6

ADDRESSING KEY ISSUES BEHIND REALIGNMENT PLAN:  Aging Rail Vehicles  Infrastructure Crisis on Media/Elwyn Line  Critical Bridges & Power Substations  Track Conditions on NHSL & Trolley Lines Early Action Priorities 7

* NOTE: New York has committed $1.8B for 676 new railcars (LIRR & Metro-North) Rail Vehicles: Regional Rail 8

Rail Vehicles: Trolleys LIGHT RAIL PCC HISTORIC STREETCAR 9

PHASE 1 PHASE 2 PHASE 3 Electric Locomotives Trolleys Silverliner VIs Replace Aging & Unreliable AEM-7s Replace 30+ Year Old & Increasingly Replace 40+ Year Old and Increasingly - Increase Size of Locomotive Fleet (8 to 12) Unreliable LRV & PCC Fleets Serving: Unreliable Silverliner IVs - Routes 10, 11, 13, 15, 34, 36 (City) - Routes 101 & 102 (Suburban) Bi-Level Coaches Add Capacity to Key Lines Rail Vehicle Replacement: Phased Approach 10
