Although recent changes in Pennsylvania law have interred plaintiffs' increased risk claims, we still believe that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court would recognize the plaintiffs' medical monitoring claims, and are satisfied that Dr. Sherman's testimony as to the plaintiffs' future risk is sufficient to get them over the summary judgment threshold.
As a rule of admissibility, Pennsylvania's standard is in conflict with Rules 702 and 703 which require a reliable methodology and reliable data but nowhere require a reasonable degree of medical certainty.
If Pennsylvania's rule were only a standard of admissibility in conflict with Federal Rules of Evidence Pennsylvania's rule would be "rationally capable [**76] of classification as procedural" and the Federal Rules of Evidence would govern.

 State transit funding faulted
The Port Authority of Allegheny County increased its base fare by 35 cents, to $1.60, as of April 1, and the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority's base fare is being raised 30 cents, to $1.90, giving the Philadelphia-based system one of the nation's highest transit fares.
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation spokesman Rich Kirkpatrick argued that Skoutelas and other transit officials had misrepresented Ridge's support, saying the state ranked third in the nation in overall public transit assistance.
Skoutelas said the Port Authority, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority and other transit systems want a 3 percent inflationary increase from the state and elimination of a $75 million "cap" on transportation funding from a share of the 6 percent state sales tax.

 Saving public transit -- for real - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Pennsylvania's two major public transit agencies -- the Port Authority of Allegheny County (PA) and the Philadelphia-based Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) -- are facing a financial crisis.
For too long, the Port Authority and SEPTA (and to a lesser extent, a number of Pennsylvania's smaller public transit systems) have been trapped in a vicious cycle of service cuts, fare increases and pleas for higher taxpayer subsidies.
Raising taxes and fees to provide more transit funding would not only be yet another drag on Pennsylvania's still-stagnant economy, but also would reward the Port Authority and SEPTA for their inability to live within their means and allow them to avoid difficult decisions on how to better allocate the resources they already receive.

The goal of the project is to determine what Philadelphia bus, subway-elevated rail, and trolley (light rail) riders consider most important in a transit system and to assist SEPTA in ensuring that citizen input is included in their performance assessment procedures.
The Council has placed a high priority on enhancing public participation in transit assessment because it feels that this is a critical component in maintaining current ridership and bringing new riders to the city's buses, regional rail lines, trolleys, and subway-elevated rail lines.
