I want you to know that this morning I directed Secretary Carroll to approve SEPTA's request to use nearly $400 million of their capital dollars for operating expenses. September. Secretary Carroll communicated that to the General manager of SEPTA early this morning. This plan will preserve service for about 800,000 Pennsylvanians for the next two years. (00:15–00:26)
