SEPTA officials put almost 40 improvement projects on hold this month as it awaits the outcome of a lawsuit that could slash a third of its capital budget by this summer.Here's the list of projects that are affected
Construction that is underway is continuing, but design work on 21 projects has stopped. Those stalled include high-profile work such as the $1 billion plan to modernize the trolley network with new vehicles, a $59 million renovation of the transit hub beneath City Hall, and work on stations at Secane, Noble, Tasker-Morris, and Villanova. Purchasing for 16 other projects has also stopped.

The Turnpike Commission makes annual payments to PennDot of about $450 million each year, and SEPTA receives more than 75 percent of that. For the first three quarters of this fiscal year, the turnpike has not made any of its $112.5 million payments to PennDot because of the lawsuit. The suit prevented the agency from raising the bonds needed to make the payments to the state, turnpike officials said.

In the last five years SEPTA has reduced its “state of good repair” backlog from $5 billion to $4.6 billion thanks in part to state funding and has moved beyond simple maintenance to pursue modernization and expansion projects. Without the stream of turnpike funding, Burnfield said, the transit agency would likely not only stop expanding, but would fall behind maintenance work.
