An Act providing for Public Transportation Trust Fund transfers and increases.
This Pennsylvania bill, known as the Public Transportation Trust Fund Transfer and Increase Act, changes how money is collected and distributed to support local transit systems. It requires that 6.15% of funds collected under the state's Tax Reform Code be deposited into the Public Transportation Trust Fund each month, rather than following previous rules. Additionally, the bill allows the Secretary of Transportation to provide financial assistance to local transportation organizations that exceeds the prior year's allocation by more than 20% for five fiscal years starting in 2024-2025. These changes aim to increase the flow of money to local transit groups without altering the overall budget structure.
