Lawmakers are back in their home districts this week and we need your help in advocating for a transportation funding plan to grow PennDOT’s letting program.
Here’s the deal:
Governor Shapiro has called for increased public transit funding by 1.75% – a $282.8 million investment, and nearly $1.5 billion in new state funding over five years.
As you know, our roads and bridges need attention, too. The Keystone Transportation Funding Coalition (KTFC) has rallied around a multimodal plan that would address those needs – without raising taxes – that would grow PennDOT lettings from approximately $3.0 billion to $3.5 billion per year over the next 2-3 years. We need your voice to make this happen!
If you are comfortable directly calling on your House and/or Senate member, that is the best way to effectively gain support.
OR:
In partnership with the members of the Keystone Transportation Funding Coalition, we ask our members to use APC's email communication tool to express your support for this funding solution to your legislators.
This is especially important to our producers as the $1B investment through the bond program would be directed as follows:
- $700M To PennDOT for state-owned bridge program
- $150M for a new PennDOT Local Bridge Program (No local match required)
- $10M increase to the Dirt and Gravel Road Program
Thank you for taking this action on behalf of the industry!
