28(2)  The Commonwealth's transportation system includes
29nearly 40,000 miles of roads and 25,000 bridges owned by the
30Commonwealth, nearly 77,000 miles of roads and 12,000 bridges
31owned by counties and municipal governments, 36 fixed-route
32public transportation agencies, 67 railroads, 133 public use
33airports, the Ports of Erie, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and
34numerous bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

35(3)  The Commonwealth's transportation system provides
36for access to employment, educational services, medical care
37and other life-sustaining services for all residents of this
38Commonwealth, including senior citizens and people with
39disabilities.

40(4)  The Department of Transportation of the Commonwealth
41has indicated that 9,000 miles of roads owned by the
42Commonwealth are in poor condition and that 4,400 bridges
43owned by the Commonwealth are rated structurally deficient.
44The State Transportation Advisory Committee has indicated
45that 2,189 bridges exceeding 20 feet in length owned by
46counties and municipalities are rated structurally deficient.

47(5)  There is urgent public need to reduce congestion,
48increase capacity, improve safety and promote economic
49efficiency of transportation facilities throughout this
50Commonwealth.

51(6)  The Commonwealth has limited resources to fund the

1maintenance and expansion of its transportation facilities.

2(7)  The State Transportation Advisory Committee reported
3in 2010 that the Commonwealth's transportation system is
4underfunded by $3,500,000,000 and projected that amount will
5grow to $6,700,000,000 by 2020 without additional financial
6investment by the Commonwealth.

7(8)  To ensure the needs of the public are adequately
8addressed, funding mechanisms must be enhanced to sustain the
9Commonwealth's transportation system in the future.

10(9)  The utilization of user fees establishes a funding
11source for transportation needs that spreads the costs across
12those who benefit from the Commonwealth's transportation
13system.

14(10)  Pursuant to section 11 of Article VIII of the
15Constitution of Pennsylvania, all highway and bridge user
16fees must be used solely for construction, reconstruction,
17maintenance and repair of and safety on public highways and
18bridges and costs and expenses incident thereto.

19(11)  In order to ensure a safe and reliable system of
20public transportation, aviation, ports, rail and bicycle and
21pedestrian facilities, other transportation-related user fees
22must be deposited in the Public Transportation Trust Fund and
23the Multimodal Transportation Fund.

24(12)  In furtherance of the Commonwealth's energy policy,
25which includes becoming independent from overreliance on
26foreign energy sources, programs must be established to
27promote reliance on or conversion to alternative energy
28sources, including the vast natural gas supply of this
29Commonwealth.

30(13) The Department of Transportation is responsible for
31the operation of the Commonwealth's transportation system,
32including administration, driver and vehicle services,
33highway administration, multimodal transportation and
34planning. To this end, the department is charged with the
35registration of vehicles, including the issuance and proper
36mounting of license plates and special registration plates
37and assessing those costs and financial impact and ensuring
38road safety and movement by the posting of maximum speed
39limits on highways.

40(14)  Recognition and furtherance of all these elements
41is essential to promoting the health, safety and welfare of
42the citizens of this Commonwealth.

6(d) Suspension of registration and operating privilege.--

7(1) The Department of Transportation shall suspend the
8registration of a vehicle for a period of three months if it
9determines the required financial responsibility was not
10secured as required by this chapter and shall suspend the
11operating privilege of the owner or registrant for a period
12of three months if the department determines that the owner
13or registrant has operated or permitted the operation of the
14vehicle without the required financial responsibility. The
15operating privilege shall not be restored until the
16restoration fee for operating privilege provided by section
171960 (relating to reinstatement of operating privilege or
18vehicle registration) is paid.

19(1.1)  In lieu of serving a registration suspension
20imposed under this section, an owner or registrant may pay to
21the department a civil penalty of $500, the restoration fee
22prescribed under section 1960 and furnish proof of financial
23responsibility in a manner determined by the department. An
24owner or registrant may exercise this option no more than
25once in a 12-month period.

26(2) Whenever the department revokes or suspends the
27registration of any vehicle under this chapter, the
28department shall not restore or transfer the registration
29until the suspension has been served or the civil penalty has 
30been paid to the department and the vehicle owner furnishes
31proof of financial responsibility in a manner determined by
32the department and submits an application for registration to
33the department, accompanied by the fee for restoration of
34registration provided by section 1960. This subsection shall
35not apply in the following circumstances:

36(i) The owner or registrant proves to the
37satisfaction of the department that the lapse in
38financial responsibility coverage was for a period of
39less than 31 days and that the owner or registrant did
40not operate or permit the operation of the vehicle during
41the period of lapse in financial responsibility.

42(ii) The owner or registrant is a member of the
43armed services of the United States, the owner or
44registrant has previously had the financial
45responsibility required by this chapter, financial
46responsibility had lapsed while the owner or registrant
47was on temporary, emergency duty and the vehicle was not
48operated during the period of lapse in financial
49responsibility. The exemption granted by this paragraph
50shall continue for 30 days after the owner or registrant
51returns from duty as long as the vehicle is not operated

1until the required financial responsibility has been
2established.

3(iii) The insurance coverage has terminated or
4financial responsibility has lapsed simultaneously with
5or subsequent to expiration of a seasonal registration,
6as provided in section 1307(a.1) (relating to period of
7registration).

8(3) An owner whose vehicle registration has been
9suspended under this subsection shall have the same right of
10appeal under section 1377 (relating to judicial review) as
11provided for in cases of the suspension of vehicle
12registration for other purposes. The filing of the appeal
13shall act as a supersedeas, and the suspension shall not be
14imposed until determination of the matter as provided in
15section 1377. The court's scope of review in an appeal from a
16vehicle registration suspension shall be limited to
17determining whether:

18(i) the vehicle is registered or of a type that is
19required to be registered under this title; and

20(ii) there has been either notice to the department
21of a lapse, termination or cancellation in the financial
22responsibility coverage as required by law for that
23vehicle or that the owner, registrant or driver was
24requested to provide proof of financial responsibility to
25the department, a police officer or another driver and
26failed to do so. Notice to the department of the lapse,
27termination or cancellation or the failure to provide the
28requested proof of financial responsibility shall create
29a presumption that the vehicle lacked the requisite
30financial responsibility. This presumption may be
31overcome by producing clear and convincing evidence that
32the vehicle was insured at all relevant times.

33(4) Where an owner or registrant's operating privilege
34has been suspended under this subsection, the owner or
35registrant shall have the same right of appeal under section
361550 (relating to judicial review) as provided for in cases
37of suspension for other reason. The court's scope of review
38in an appeal from an operating privilege suspension shall be
39limited to determining whether:

40(i) the vehicle was registered or of a type required
41to be registered under this title; and

42(ii) the owner or registrant operated or permitted
43the operation of the same vehicle when it was not covered
44by financial responsibility. The fact that an owner,
45registrant or operator of the motor vehicle failed to
46provide competent evidence of insurance or the fact that
47the department received notice of a lapse, termination or
48cancellation of insurance for the vehicle shall create a
49presumption that the vehicle lacked the requisite
50financial responsibility. This presumption may be
51overcome by producing clear and convincing evidence that

1the vehicle was insured at the time that it was driven.

2(5) An alleged lapse, cancellation or termination of a
3policy of insurance by an insurer may only be challenged by
4requesting review by the Insurance Commissioner pursuant to
5Article XX of the act of May 17, 1921 (P.L.682, No.284),
6known as The Insurance Company Law of 1921. Proof that a
7timely request has been made to the Insurance Commissioner
8for such a review shall act as a supersedeas, staying the
9suspension of registration or operating privilege under this
10section pending a determination pursuant to section 2009(a)
11of The Insurance Company Law of 1921 or, in the event that
12further review at a hearing is requested by either party, a
13final order pursuant to section 2009(i) of The Insurance
14Company Law of 1921.

16shall be deposited into the Public Transportation Trust Fund.
