An Act amending Title 74 (Transportation) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in sustainable mobility options, further providing for Public Transportation Trust Fund and providing for residency requirement for senior programs.

HB 2036 requires Pennsylvania senior citizens (65+ or as defined) to provide proof of state residency to qualify for free or reduced fares on public transportation. It amends the Public Transportation Trust Fund to clarify that lottery funds can cover transit losses from free senior service during regular hours and caps commuter rail fares for seniors at $1 per trip (extended to all hours). Transportation providers must verify residency documentation (like a valid Pennsylvania driver's license) every four years and submit compliance plans to the state. The state will conduct random audits to ensure providers follow these rules.
