HB 2630 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in taxes for highway maintenance and construction, further providing for allocation of proceeds.

This bill updates the funding rules for Pennsylvania highways that were transferred from state to local control. It sets the annual maintenance payment rate at $12,500 per mile for these roads and establishes a mechanism to automatically adjust these payments every two years starting in 2026. The adjustments will be based on changes in the Consumer Price Index to account for inflation, ensuring maintenance funds keep pace with rising costs. Local municipalities that received these highways will directly receive the increased payments, while the Department of Transportation will handle the calculations and notify the public of any changes.
