An Act amending Title 74 (Transportation) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for Public Transit Security Grant Program; establishing the Public Transit Security Grant Program Fund; and imposing duties on the Department of Transportation.

This bill establishes a Public Transit Security Grant Program in Pennsylvania to provide funding for improving security at public transit systems. The program will be administered by the Department of Transportation, which will manage a new fund created specifically for these grants. To receive funding, transit authorities must submit applications that include a safety committee letter of support and may receive priority if they have the consent of the majority of their transit employees' associations. The legislation defines a safety committee according to federal regulations and outlines specific requirements for how grant applications must be structured and evaluated.
