An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in supplemental funding for municipal highway maintenance, further providing for supplemental funding for municipal highway maintenance; and, in taxes for highway maintenance and construction, further providing for imposition of tax.
HB 2214 creates a new annual $5 million fund from Pennsylvania's Motor License Fund to support municipal bridge maintenance. It directs counties to distribute these funds based on the relative size of their county-owned bridges (using data from the National Bridge Inspection Program), and allows counties to use the money for bridges owned by municipalities within their jurisdiction. The bill also adds a 55-mill tax on liquid fuels, with 2% of the proceeds allocated to this bridge maintenance fund using the same size-based distribution method. Counties cannot receive less funding than the previous year unless their bridge size decreases or total tax revenue drops. This bill directly affects all Pennsylvania counties and municipalities responsible for bridge upkeep.
