Joined board in 1995, elected to chairmanship by other Board Members in 1999. "Under his watch, SEPTA has operated with balanced budgets for 15 consecutive years, while also investing $3.5 billion in capital improvements. He has overseen the completion of dozens of major initiatives, such as the rebuilding of the Market Street portion of the Market-Frankford Line and the purchase of new Silverliner V Regional Rail cars. He has also been a guiding force in the Authority’s ongoing effort to
implement a transformational new fare system as part of the New Payment Technology program.
These efforts will be enhanced moving forward thanks to Act 89, a comprehensive, statewide funding plan for transportation championed by Deon leading up to its approval last November." |
