An Act amending Title 74 (Transportation) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in sustainable mobility options, establishing the Supplemental Public Transportation Operating Assistance Allocation for Growing Counties Grant Program.
This bill creates a new grant program in Pennsylvania to provide operating assistance for public transportation in counties that are experiencing growth. It allows counties with increasing populations or rising employment numbers to apply for funding, with the available money split evenly between these two categories. To receive the grants, eligible entities must already be recipients of other state transportation funds and will be awarded money based on their county's percentage growth over the past five years. The program includes a limit on local matching funds and requires annual appropriations to operate.
