39(1)  It is the purpose of this act to ensure that a safe

41residents of this Commonwealth.

42(2)  The Commonwealth's transportation system includes
43nearly 40,000 miles of roads and 25,000 bridges owned by the
44Commonwealth, nearly 77,000 miles of roads and 12,000 bridges
45owned by counties and municipal governments, 36 fixed-route

1public transportation agencies, 67 railroads, 133 public use
2airports, the Ports of Erie, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and
3numerous bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

4(3)  The Commonwealth's transportation system provides
5for access to employment, educational services, medical care
6and other life-sustaining services for all residents of this
7Commonwealth, including senior citizens and people with
8disabilities.

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

16(5)  There is urgent public need to reduce congestion,
17increase capacity, improve safety and promote economic
18efficiency of transportation facilities throughout this
19Commonwealth.

20(6)  The Commonwealth has limited resources to fund the
21maintenance and expansion of its transportation facilities.

22(7)  The State Transportation Advisory Committee reported
23in 2010 that the Commonwealth's transportation system is
24underfunded by $3,500,000,000 and projected that amount will
25grow to $6,700,000,000 by 2020 without additional financial
26investment by the Commonwealth.

27(8)  To ensure the needs of the public are adequately
28addressed, funding mechanisms must be enhanced to sustain the
29Commonwealth's transportation system in the future.

30(9)  The utilization of user fees establishes a funding

1source for transportation needs that spreads the costs across
2those who benefit from the Commonwealth's transportation
3system.

4(10)  Pursuant to section 11 of Article VIII of the
5Constitution of Pennsylvania, all highway and bridge user
6fees must be used solely for construction, reconstruction,
7maintenance and repair of and safety on public highways and
8bridges and costs and expenses incident thereto.

9(11)  In order to ensure a safe and reliable system of
10public transportation, aviation, ports, rail and bicycle and
11pedestrian facilities, other transportation-related user fees
12must be deposited in the Public Transportation Trust Fund and
13the Multimodal Transportation Fund.

14(12)  In furtherance of the Commonwealth's energy policy,
15which includes becoming independent from overreliance on
16foreign energy sources, programs must be established to
17promote reliance on or conversion to alternative energy
18sources, including the vast natural gas supply of this
19Commonwealth.

20(13) The Department of Transportation is responsible for
21the operation of the Commonwealth's transportation system,
22including administration, driver and vehicle services,
23highway administration, multimodal transportation and
24planning. To this end, the department is charged with the
25registration of vehicles, including the issuance and proper
26mounting of license plates and special registration plates
27and assessing those costs and financial impact and ensuring
28road safety and movement by the posting of maximum speed
29limits on highways.

30(14)  Recognition and furtherance of all these elements
 

1is essential to promoting the health, safety and welfare of 
2the citizens of this Commonwealth.

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

8(1) The Department of Transportation shall suspend the
9registration of a vehicle for a period of three months if it
10determines the required financial responsibility was not
11secured as required by this chapter and shall suspend the
12operating privilege of the owner or registrant for a period
13of three months if the department determines that the owner
14or registrant has operated or permitted the operation of the
15vehicle without the required financial responsibility. The
16operating privilege shall not be restored until the
17restoration fee for operating privilege provided by section
181960 (relating to reinstatement of operating privilege or
19vehicle registration) is paid.

20(1.1)  In lieu of serving a registration suspension
21imposed under this section, an owner or registrant may pay to
22the department a civil penalty of $500, the restoration fee
23prescribed under section 1960 and furnish proof of financial
24responsibility in a manner determined by the department. An
25owner or registrant may exercise this option no more than
26once in a 12-month period.

27(2) Whenever the department revokes or suspends the
28registration of any vehicle under this chapter, the
29department shall not restore or transfer the registration
30until the suspension has been served or the civil penalty has
 

1been paid to the department and the vehicle owner furnishes
2proof of financial responsibility in a manner determined by
3the department and submits an application for registration to
4the department, accompanied by the fee for restoration of
5registration provided by section 1960. This subsection shall
6not apply in the following circumstances:

7(i) The owner or registrant proves to the
8satisfaction of the department that the lapse in
9financial responsibility coverage was for a period of
10less than 31 days and that the owner or registrant did
11not operate or permit the operation of the vehicle during
12the period of lapse in financial responsibility.

13(ii) The owner or registrant is a member of the
14armed services of the United States, the owner or
15registrant has previously had the financial
16responsibility required by this chapter, financial
17responsibility had lapsed while the owner or registrant
18was on temporary, emergency duty and the vehicle was not
19operated during the period of lapse in financial
20responsibility. The exemption granted by this paragraph
21shall continue for 30 days after the owner or registrant
22returns from duty as long as the vehicle is not operated
23until the required financial responsibility has been
24established.

25(iii) The insurance coverage has terminated or
26financial responsibility has lapsed simultaneously with
27or subsequent to expiration of a seasonal registration,
28as provided in section 1307(a.1) (relating to period of
29registration).

30(3) An owner whose vehicle registration has been

1suspended under this subsection shall have the same right of
2appeal under section 1377 (relating to judicial review) as
3provided for in cases of the suspension of vehicle
4registration for other purposes. The filing of the appeal
5shall act as a supersedeas, and the suspension shall not be
6imposed until determination of the matter as provided in
7section 1377. The court's scope of review in an appeal from a
8vehicle registration suspension shall be limited to
9determining whether:

10(i) the vehicle is registered or of a type that is
11required to be registered under this title; and

12(ii) there has been either notice to the department
13of a lapse, termination or cancellation in the financial
14responsibility coverage as required by law for that
15vehicle or that the owner, registrant or driver was
16requested to provide proof of financial responsibility to
17the department, a police officer or another driver and
18failed to do so. Notice to the department of the lapse,
19termination or cancellation or the failure to provide the
20requested proof of financial responsibility shall create
21a presumption that the vehicle lacked the requisite
22financial responsibility. This presumption may be
23overcome by producing clear and convincing evidence that
24the vehicle was insured at all relevant times.

25(4) Where an owner or registrant's operating privilege
26has been suspended under this subsection, the owner or
27registrant shall have the same right of appeal under section
281550 (relating to judicial review) as provided for in cases
29of suspension for other reason. The court's scope of review
30in an appeal from an operating privilege suspension shall be

1limited to determining whether:

2(i) the vehicle was registered or of a type required
3to be registered under this title; and

4(ii) the owner or registrant operated or permitted
5the operation of the same vehicle when it was not covered
6by financial responsibility. The fact that an owner,
7registrant or operator of the motor vehicle failed to
8provide competent evidence of insurance or the fact that
9the department received notice of a lapse, termination or
10cancellation of insurance for the vehicle shall create a
11presumption that the vehicle lacked the requisite
12financial responsibility. This presumption may be
13overcome by producing clear and convincing evidence that
14the vehicle was insured at the time that it was driven.

15(5) An alleged lapse, cancellation or termination of a
16policy of insurance by an insurer may only be challenged by
17requesting review by the Insurance Commissioner pursuant to
18Article XX of the act of May 17, 1921 (P.L.682, No.284),
19known as The Insurance Company Law of 1921. Proof that a
20timely request has been made to the Insurance Commissioner
21for such a review shall act as a supersedeas, staying the
22suspension of registration or operating privilege under this
23section pending a determination pursuant to section 2009(a)
24of The Insurance Company Law of 1921 or, in the event that
25further review at a hearing is requested by either party, a
26final order pursuant to section 2009(i) of The Insurance
27Company Law of 1921.

29shall be deposited into the Public Transportation Trust Fund.
