An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.343, No.176), known as The Fiscal Code, establishing the Snow and Ice Removal Safety Grant Program and the Snow and Ice Removal Safety Grant Program Account; and imposing duties on the Department of Transportation.
SB 569 creates a grant program to fund snow and ice removal devices for large trucks (over 10,000 pounds) at locations like weigh stations and truck stops across Pennsylvania. The Department of Transportation will award grants up to $50,000 per device location to eligible businesses to purchase or install equipment that removes snow/ice from truck roofs. Funds come from existing snow/ice violation fines deposited into a dedicated account, with grants limited to device costs and approved operational expenses. The program aims to improve safety by reducing hazards from snow/ice accumulation on commercial vehicles.
