MEMORANDUM

Posted: June 5, 2018 03:34 PM
From: Representative Doyle Heffley
To: All House members
Subject: Study of distribution of highway maintenance funds - resolution
 
I plan to introduce a resolution that would charge the Legislative Budget & Finance Committee (LB&FC) with conducting a study into the state highway maintenance funding formula.
According to the study, LB&FC will examine whether the current funding formula provides the appropriate distribution of funds among each county within the 11 PennDOT Districts. The study will also consist of:

* A review of the existing formula;
* A review of the previous two years to determine if any PennDOT district was:
Inadequately funded; or
Inadequately overfunded; and
* Recommendations on how to better improve the distribution of state highway maintenance funds.

In 2017-2018 nearly $1.34 billion was distributed among the 67 counties of the Commonwealth. It has been quite some time since the last update of this formula, and my resolution would seek to bring the current funding formula into current times.
Please join me in supporting this resolution.
