Pennsylvania has suffered from years of unstable and diminishing transportation revenues to maintain and expand our transportation systems. Pennsylvania’s transportation network is in crisis. Now is the time to fix it and we need your help to do it!
ACT 44 was intended to provide dedicated, predictable, and sustainable funding for Highways, Bridges and Public Transportation. Due to the inability of ACT 44 to fulfill its obligation, the promise of stability has been removed. The negative impacts on transit service will be seen through significant fare increases, diminished mobility options, and failure to keep systems in a state of good repair. Inadequate state funding will result in Pennsylvania losing millions of dollars in federal funds due to the inability to meet the matching requirements.
If not resolved, the Pennsylvania transportation funding crisis will not only have a negative impact on the transportation system of highways, bridges, and public transportation, but will have serious economic consequences to all of Pennsylvania.
We are, the Pennsylvania Public Transportation Association (PPTA), dedicated to advocating and strengthening the role of public transportation and improving the quality of life for all Pennsylvania citizens.
