An Act providing for commuter impact zones; establishing the Commuter Impact Zone Grant Program, Commuter Impact Mitigation Grant Program and Commuter Impact Fund; and imposing duties on the Department of Transportation.

This bill establishes a new framework in Pennsylvania to identify and support communities heavily affected by regional commuter traffic. It creates a system where the Department of Transportation designates specific municipalities as "commuter impact zones" based on criteria such as high out-of-county employment rates, heavy highway congestion, and environmental strain. Once designated, these municipalities become eligible for funding through two new grant programs: one for infrastructure repairs like road maintenance and stormwater management, and another for residential noise reduction, air quality improvements, and small business stabilization. The legislation also sets up a dedicated fund to finance these initiatives and requires the state department to develop specific rules for awarding grants, with individual awards capped at $5 million per year.
