Bill > HB1868

This bill introduces two main changes to Pennsylvania state law: first, it establishes a new transportation fee for transportation network companies (like rideshare services such as Uber or Lyft) by requiring them to collect 95 cents per trip and remit those funds to the Department of Revenue. The collected fees will be divided equally into three accounts: the Public Transportation Trust Fund, the State Highway Transfer Restoration Restricted Account within the Motor License Fund, and the Motor License Fund for road and bridge projects. Second, the bill modifies how annual maintenance payments are calculated for transferred highways, increasing the base rate from $4,000 to $12,500 per mile and introducing a mechanism for automatic adjustments every 24 months based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, with these adjustments to begin in February 2028. The department will be required to calculate the percentage increase, apply it to maintenance payments, round to the nearest dollar, and publish the adjustments in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage.
