An Act providing for reimbursement of Pennsylvania Turnpike tolls for certain companies; establishing the Pennsylvania Turnpike-to- Port Freight Reimbursement Fund; providing for duties of the Department of Transportation; and imposing penalties.
SB 379 creates a fund to reimburse eligible Pennsylvania companies for tolls paid on the Pennsylvania Turnpike when transporting goods to the Port of Philadelphia for shipping. It directly affects qualifying businesses that manufacture products in Pennsylvania, have a physical headquarters there, and use the turnpike for this specific shipping purpose. Companies must apply quarterly with detailed proof of toll payments, shipping documentation, and company information; approved reimbursements must be processed within 60 days. The fund is capped at $2.5 million, with penalties of $5,000 for false applications, and annual reports required starting in 2026.
