Correct. SEPTA has historically operated at 33% of the funding its NE peer agencies (especially its closest analogue, MBTA) get; now it's 66%. A lot of the problems historically chalked up to bad management were actually problems of severe underfunding; one would hope that as SEPTA approaches its peers' funding levels it would not develop some of their management issues. The MTA, for example, with its unwillingness to install PTC. SEPTA is one of the few agencies that'll actually make deadline.
