DIVISONAL GOALS AND BUSINESS INITIATIVES<br />

• Strive to have SEPTA’s status as an arm-of-the-state be well established within the courts,<br />

<strong>and</strong> recognized by all other entities, <strong>and</strong> accordingly, have SEPTA not be subject to claims<br />

under the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) due to that status.<br />

• Comply with E-discovery rules <strong>and</strong> practices so as to establish <strong>and</strong> secure the best<br />

possible legal position in claims <strong>and</strong> litigation.<br />

• Enhance <strong>and</strong> fine-tune the approach to lawsuit management decision-making.<br />

• Make the best use of data from cameras on vehicles <strong>and</strong> in facilities to defend <strong>and</strong> protect<br />

SEPTA in potential claims <strong>and</strong> lawsuits.<br />

• Continue to monitor federal, state <strong>and</strong> city legislation that impacts the Authority.<br />

• Plan <strong>and</strong> prepare for future human capital resource availability <strong>and</strong> capability within the<br />

Legal Division.<br />

• Improve the means of purchasing electric power energy for the Authority.<br />
