AI Summary
This bill establishes a comprehensive transportation funding strategy for Pennsylvania by creating new funds, authorizing bond issuances, and forming a Transportation Funding Advisory Commission. Specifically, the bill creates the Road and Bridge Project Fund to finance road and bridge infrastructure improvements and the Road and Bridge Project Sinking Fund to repay related bonds. The Commonwealth Financing Authority is authorized to issue up to $500 million in bonds for transportation projects, with these bonds being tax-exempt and not considered a direct liability of the Commonwealth. The bill also establishes a Transportation Funding Advisory Commission composed of 30-40 members representing various transportation, government, environmental, and industry sectors, tasked with developing a strategic proposal for addressing the state's transportation funding needs. The commission will study potential revenue sources, cost-saving opportunities, and prepare a comprehensive transportation funding proposal, with interim and final reports to be submitted to the Governor and General Assembly by January 1, 2026. Additionally, the bill adjusts the percentage of tax collections that will be deposited into the Public Transportation Trust Fund, initially setting it at 6.15% and later reducing it to 7.9% starting in June 2028, while also providing provisions for increased financial assistance to local transportation organizations.
