Bill > SB205

This bill modifies two sections of Pennsylvania's vehicle code to expand how counties can use certain transportation funds. Specifically, it allows counties to use money from the Motor License Fund and additional fuel taxes to support the construction and maintenance of bridges owned by municipalities within their county. Currently, these funds have restricted uses, but this bill broadens the allowable spending to include municipal bridge infrastructure. The changes apply to an existing annual appropriation of $5,000,000 to counties and an additional 55-mill tax on liquid fuels, with the new provisions taking effect on July 1, 2025, or immediately thereafter. By enabling counties to directly support municipal bridge maintenance and construction, the bill provides local governments with more flexibility in managing transportation infrastructure and potentially addressing critical bridge repair and replacement needs.
