32The General Assembly finds and declares as follows:

33(1) It is the purpose of this act to ensure that a safe
34and reliable system of transportation is available to the
35residents of this Commonwealth.

36(2) The Commonwealth's transportation system includes
37nearly 40,000 miles of roads and 25,000 bridges owned by the
38Commonwealth, nearly 77,000 miles of roads and 12,000 bridges
39owned by counties and municipal governments, 36 fixed-route
40public transportation agencies, 67 railroads, 133 public use
41airports, the Ports of Erie, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and
42numerous bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

43(3) The Commonwealth's transportation system provides
44for access to employment, educational services, medical care
45and other life-sustaining services for all residents of this

1Commonwealth, including senior citizens and people with
2disabilities.

3(4) The Department of Transportation of the Commonwealth
4has indicated that 9,000 miles of roads owned by the
5Commonwealth are in poor condition and that 4,400 bridges
6owned by the Commonwealth are rated structurally deficient.
7The State Transportation Advisory Committee has indicated
8that 2,189 bridges exceeding 20 feet in length owned by
9counties and municipalities are rated structurally deficient.

10(5) There is urgent public need to reduce congestion,
11increase capacity, improve safety and promote economic
12efficiency of transportation facilities throughout this
13Commonwealth.

14(6) The Commonwealth has limited resources to fund the
15maintenance and expansion of its transportation facilities.

16(7) The State Transportation Advisory Committee reported
17in 2010 that the Commonwealth's transportation system is
18underfunded by $3,500,000,000 and projected that amount will
19grow to $6,700,000,000 by 2020 without additional financial
20investment by the Commonwealth.

21(8) To ensure the needs of the public are adequately
22addressed, funding mechanisms must be enhanced to sustain the
23Commonwealth's transportation system in the future.

24(9) The utilization of user fees establishes a funding
25source for transportation needs that spreads the costs across
26those who benefit from the Commonwealth's transportation
27system.

28(10) Pursuant to section 11 of Article VIII of the
29Constitution of Pennsylvania, all highway and bridge user
30fees must be used solely for construction, reconstruction,

1maintenance and repair of and safety on public highways and
2bridges and costs and expenses incident thereto.

3(11) In order to ensure a safe and reliable system of
4public transportation, rail, aviation and ports, bicycle and
5pedestrian facilities and other transportation-related user
6fees must be deposited in the Public Transportation Trust
7Fund and the Multimodal Transportation Fund.

8(12) Recognition and furtherance of all these elements
9is essential to promoting the health, safety and welfare of
10the citizens of this Commonwealth.

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

22(1) The Department of Transportation shall suspend the
23registration of a vehicle for a period of three months if it
24determines the required financial responsibility was not
25secured as required by this chapter and shall suspend the
26operating privilege of the owner or registrant for a period
27of three months if the department determines that the owner
28or registrant has operated or permitted the operation of the
29vehicle without the required financial responsibility. The
30operating privilege shall not be restored until the

1restoration fee for operating privilege provided by section
21960 (relating to reinstatement of operating privilege or
3vehicle registration) is paid.

4(1.1) In lieu of serving a registration suspension
5imposed under this section, an owner or registrant may pay to
6the department a civil penalty of $500, the restoration fee
7prescribed under section 1960 and furnish proof of financial
8responsibility in a manner determined by the department.

9(2) Whenever the department revokes or suspends the
10registration of any vehicle under this chapter, the
11department shall not restore or transfer the registration
12until the suspension has been served or the civil penalty has 
13been paid to the department and the vehicle owner furnishes
14proof of financial responsibility in a manner determined by
15the department and submits an application for registration to
16the department, accompanied by the fee for restoration of
17registration provided by section 1960. This subsection shall
18not apply in the following circumstances:

19(i) The owner or registrant proves to the
20satisfaction of the department that the lapse in
21financial responsibility coverage was for a period of
22less than 31 days and that the owner or registrant did
23not operate or permit the operation of the vehicle during
24the period of lapse in financial responsibility.

25(ii) The owner or registrant is a member of the
26armed services of the United States, the owner or
27registrant has previously had the financial
28responsibility required by this chapter, financial
29responsibility had lapsed while the owner or registrant
30was on temporary, emergency duty and the vehicle was not

1operated during the period of lapse in financial
2responsibility. The exemption granted by this paragraph
3shall continue for 30 days after the owner or registrant
4returns from duty as long as the vehicle is not operated
5until the required financial responsibility has been
6established.

7(iii) The insurance coverage has terminated or
8financial responsibility has lapsed simultaneously with
9or subsequent to expiration of a seasonal registration,
10as provided in section 1307(a.1) (relating to period of
11registration).

12(3) An owner whose vehicle registration has been
13suspended under this subsection shall have the same right of
14appeal under section 1377 (relating to judicial review) as
15provided for in cases of the suspension of vehicle
16registration for other purposes. The filing of the appeal
17shall act as a supersedeas, and the suspension shall not be
18imposed until determination of the matter as provided in
19section 1377. The court's scope of review in an appeal from a
20vehicle registration suspension shall be limited to
21determining whether:

22(i) the vehicle is registered or of a type that is
23required to be registered under this title; and

24(ii) there has been either notice to the department
25of a lapse, termination or cancellation in the financial
26responsibility coverage as required by law for that
27vehicle or that the owner, registrant or driver was
28requested to provide proof of financial responsibility to
29the department, a police officer or another driver and
30failed to do so. Notice to the department of the lapse,

1termination or cancellation or the failure to provide the
2requested proof of financial responsibility shall create
3a presumption that the vehicle lacked the requisite
4financial responsibility. This presumption may be
5overcome by producing clear and convincing evidence that
6the vehicle was insured at all relevant times.

7(4) Where an owner or registrant's operating privilege
8has been suspended under this subsection, the owner or
9registrant shall have the same right of appeal under section
101550 (relating to judicial review) as provided for in cases
11of suspension for other reason. The court's scope of review
12in an appeal from an operating privilege suspension shall be
13limited to determining whether:

14(i) the vehicle was registered or of a type required
15to be registered under this title; and

16(ii) the owner or registrant operated or permitted
17the operation of the same vehicle when it was not covered
18by financial responsibility. The fact that an owner,
19registrant or operator of the motor vehicle failed to
20provide competent evidence of insurance or the fact that
21the department received notice of a lapse, termination or
22cancellation of insurance for the vehicle shall create a
23presumption that the vehicle lacked the requisite
24financial responsibility. This presumption may be
25overcome by producing clear and convincing evidence that
26the vehicle was insured at the time that it was driven.

27(5) An alleged lapse, cancellation or termination of a
28policy of insurance by an insurer may only be challenged by
29requesting review by the Insurance Commissioner pursuant to
30Article XX of the act of May 17, 1921 (P.L.682, No.284),

1known as The Insurance Company Law of 1921. Proof that a
2timely request has been made to the Insurance Commissioner
3for such a review shall act as a supersedeas, staying the
4suspension of registration or operating privilege under this
5section pending a determination pursuant to section 2009(a)
6of The Insurance Company Law of 1921 or, in the event that
7further review at a hearing is requested by either party, a
8final order pursuant to section 2009(i) of The Insurance
9Company Law of 1921.

26of the insurer's filing procedures with proof that the notice
27was written in the normal course of business and placed in
28the normal course of mailing. The department shall not be

13terminated by the insured or by the insurer. The insurer
14shall notify the department not later than ten days following

22of mailing. The department shall not be required to produce 
23the copy or any other proof that notice of termination, lapse 
24or cancellation was provided to the owner or registrant in 
25order to satisfy the burden of proof in a proceeding under 
26this section.

27(4) A person who, after maintaining financial
28responsibility on the vehicle of another person, ceases to
29maintain such financial responsibility shall immediately
30notify the vehicle's owner who shall not operate, or permit

1operation of, the vehicle in this Commonwealth.

2(5) In the case of a person who leases any motor vehicle
3from a person engaged in the business of leasing motor
4vehicles, the lessee shall sign a statement indicating that

6through the lessor or through the lessee's motor vehicle
7liability insurance policy coverage. The lessee shall submit
8the statement to the lessor.

9(6) Upon request of the department, an insurer shall
10verify whether a contract of motor vehicle liability
11insurance has been issued for a vehicle.

13to verify the existence of insurance shall be admissible into
14evidence, shall be prima facie evidence of the absence of
15required financial responsibility for purposes of this
16section and shall establish a presumption that the coverage
17does not exist.
