HB 2266 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in taxes for highway maintenance and construction, further providing for allocation of proceeds.

This bill modifies Pennsylvania's tax system for highway maintenance and construction by establishing a new annual payment rate of $6,000 per mile for state highways transferred to local municipalities. The law requires these funds to be deposited into a restricted account specifically designated for paying restoration costs and ongoing maintenance payments to affected municipalities. Additionally, the bill mandates automatic adjustments to these annual payments every 24 months starting February 1, 2028, based on changes in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. The Department of Transportation will calculate these inflation-based adjustments and notify the Legislative Reference Bureau for official publication. The changes take effect 60 days after the bill is enacted.
