47The General Assembly finds and declares as follows:

48(1) It is the purpose of this act to ensure that a safe
49and reliable system of transportation is available to the
50residents of this Commonwealth.

51(2) The Commonwealth's transportation system includes
52nearly 40,000 miles of roads and 25,000 bridges owned by the
53Commonwealth, nearly 77,000 miles of roads and 12,000 bridges

1owned by counties and municipal governments, 36 fixed-route
2public transportation agencies, 67 railroads, 133 public use
3airports, the Ports of Erie, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and
4numerous bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

5(3) The Commonwealth's transportation system provides
6for access to employment, educational services, medical care
7and other life-sustaining services for all residents of this
8Commonwealth, including senior citizens and people with
9disabilities.

10(4) The Department of Transportation of the Commonwealth
11has indicated that 9,000 miles of roads owned by the
12Commonwealth are in poor condition and that 4,400 bridges
13owned by the Commonwealth are rated structurally deficient.
14The State Transportation Advisory Committee has indicated
15that 2,189 bridges exceeding 20 feet in length owned by
16counties and municipalities are rated structurally deficient.

17(5) There is urgent public need to reduce congestion,
18increase capacity, improve safety and promote economic
19efficiency of transportation facilities throughout this
20Commonwealth.

21(6) The Commonwealth has limited resources to fund the
22maintenance and expansion of its transportation facilities.

23(7) The State Transportation Advisory Committee reported
24in 2010 that the Commonwealth's transportation system is
25underfunded by $3,500,000,000 and projected that amount will
26grow to $6,700,000,000 by 2020 without additional financial
27investment by the Commonwealth.

28(8) To ensure the needs of the public are adequately
29addressed, funding mechanisms must be enhanced to sustain the
30Commonwealth's transportation system in the future.

1(9) The utilization of user fees establishes a funding
2source for transportation needs that spreads the costs across
3those who benefit from the Commonwealth's transportation
4system.

5(10) Pursuant to section 11 of Article VIII of the
6Constitution of Pennsylvania, all highway and bridge user
7fees must be used solely for construction, reconstruction,
8maintenance and repair of and safety on public highways and
9bridges and costs and expenses incident thereto.

10(11) In order to ensure a safe and reliable system of
11public transportation, aviation, ports, rail and bicycle and
12pedestrian facilities, other transportation-related user fees
13must be deposited in the Public Transportation Trust Fund and
14the Multimodal Transportation Fund.

<-15(12) In furtherance of the Commonwealth's energy policy,
16which includes becoming independent from overreliance on
17foreign energy sources, programs must be established to
18promote reliance on or conversion to alternative energy
19sources, including the vast natural gas supply of this
20Commonwealth.

<-21(12) (13) Recognition and furtherance of all these
22elements is essential to promoting the health, safety and
23welfare of the citizens of this Commonwealth.

2of the vehicle to comply with this section if the violation
3is evidenced by information obtained from a violation
4enforcement system.

5(2) If a violation of this section is committed, the
6registration plate number of the vehicle as recorded by a
7violation enforcement system shall establish an inference
8that the owner of the vehicle was then operating the vehicle.

12vehicle at the time of the violation.

20paragraph (2)(i), (ii) and (iii) shall suffice to overcome
21the inference.

22(4) If the inference is overcome, the operator of the
23vehicle may be held liable under this section for failure to
24pay the prescribed toll in the same manner as if the operator
25were the owner of the vehicle.

26(b) Imposition of liability.--Liability under this section

28collection by the commission, the owner of the vehicle shall

4system.

5(ii) A certificate of passage that has not been paid
6within the prescribed time period.

7(2) Except for an operator who utilizes certificates of
8passage toll collection, if an operator of a vehicle fails to
9pay the prescribed toll as provided under paragraph (1), the
10registration plate number of the vehicle as recorded by a
11video tolling system shall establish an inference that the
12owner of the vehicle was operating the vehicle at the time of
13the violation. The inference shall be overcome if the owner
14does all of the following:

15(i) Testifies that the owner was not operating the

3vehicle had been reported to the police as having been stolen

23imposed until determination of the matter as provided in
24section 1377. The court's scope of review in an appeal from a
25vehicle registration suspension shall be limited to
26determining whether:

27(i) the vehicle is registered or of a type that is
28required to be registered under this title; and

29(ii) there has been either notice to the department
30of a lapse, termination or cancellation in the financial

1responsibility coverage as required by law for that
2vehicle or that the owner, registrant or driver was
3requested to provide proof of financial responsibility to
4the department, a police officer or another driver and
5failed to do so. Notice to the department of the lapse,
6termination or cancellation or the failure to provide the
7requested proof of financial responsibility shall create
8a presumption that the vehicle lacked the requisite
9financial responsibility. This presumption may be
10overcome by producing clear and convincing evidence that
11the vehicle was insured at all relevant times.

12(4) Where an owner or registrant's operating privilege
13has been suspended under this subsection, the owner or

20to be registered under this title; and

22the operation of the same vehicle when it was not covered
23by financial responsibility. The fact that an owner,
24registrant or operator of the motor vehicle failed to
25provide competent evidence of insurance or the fact that
26the department received notice of a lapse, termination or
27cancellation of insurance for the vehicle shall create a
28presumption that the vehicle lacked the requisite
29financial responsibility. This presumption may be
30overcome 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
