An Act amending Title 74 (Transportation) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for Public Transit Security Grant Program; establishing the Public Transit Security Grant Program Fund; and imposing duties on the Department of Transportation.

HB 1145 creates a new Public Transit Security Grant Program in Pennsylvania, providing funding to public transit agencies for security improvements like cameras, patrols, or emergency response systems. The bill establishes a dedicated fund to finance these grants and requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to manage the program, including setting eligibility rules and distributing funds. It directly affects public transit operators across the state by offering financial support for safety upgrades. The legislation amends transportation laws to formalize this funding mechanism, ensuring transit security needs are addressed through state resources.
