26residents of this Commonwealth.

27(2)  The Commonwealth's transportation system includes
28nearly 40,000 miles of roads and 25,000 bridges owned by the
29Commonwealth, nearly 77,000 miles of roads and 12,000 bridges
30owned by counties and municipal governments, 36 fixed-route
31public transportation agencies, 67 railroads, 133 public use
32airports, the Ports of Erie, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and
33numerous bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

34(3)  The Commonwealth's transportation system provides
35for access to employment, educational services, medical care
36and other life-sustaining services for all residents of this
37Commonwealth, including senior citizens and people with
38disabilities.

39(4)  The Department of Transportation of the Commonwealth
40has indicated that 9,000 miles of roads owned by the
41Commonwealth are in poor condition and that 4,400 bridges
42owned by the Commonwealth are rated structurally deficient.
43The State Transportation Advisory Committee has indicated
44that 2,189 bridges exceeding 20 feet in length owned by
45counties and municipalities are rated structurally deficient.

46(5)  There is urgent public need to reduce congestion,
47increase capacity, improve safety and promote economic
48efficiency of transportation facilities throughout this
49Commonwealth.

50(6)  The Commonwealth has limited resources to fund the
51maintenance and expansion of its transportation facilities.

1(7)  The State Transportation Advisory Committee reported
2in 2010 that the Commonwealth's transportation system is
3underfunded by $3,500,000,000 and projected that amount will
4grow to $6,700,000,000 by 2020 without additional financial
5investment by the Commonwealth.

6(8)  To ensure the needs of the public are adequately
7addressed, funding mechanisms must be enhanced to sustain the
8Commonwealth's transportation system in the future.

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

13(10)  Pursuant to section 11 of Article VIII of the
14Constitution of Pennsylvania, all highway and bridge user
15fees must be used solely for construction, reconstruction,
16maintenance and repair of and safety on public highways and
17bridges and costs and expenses incident thereto.

18(11)  In order to ensure a safe and reliable system of
19public transportation, aviation, ports, rail and bicycle and
20pedestrian facilities, other transportation-related user fees
21must be deposited in the Public Transportation Trust Fund and
22the Multimodal Transportation Fund.

23(12)  In furtherance of the Commonwealth's energy policy,
24which includes becoming independent from overreliance on
25foreign energy sources, programs must be established to
26promote reliance on or conversion to alternative energy
27sources, including the vast natural gas supply of this
28Commonwealth.

29(13)  Recognition and furtherance of all these elements
30is essential to promoting the health, safety and welfare of
31the citizens of this Commonwealth.

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

48(1) The Department of Transportation shall suspend the
49registration of a vehicle for a period of three months if it
50determines the required financial responsibility was not
51secured as required by this chapter and shall suspend the

1operating privilege of the owner or registrant for a period
2of three months if the department determines that the owner
3or registrant has operated or permitted the operation of the
4vehicle without the required financial responsibility. The
5operating privilege shall not be restored until the
6restoration fee for operating privilege provided by section
71960 (relating to reinstatement of operating privilege or
8vehicle registration) is paid.

9(1.1)  In lieu of serving a registration suspension
10imposed under this section, an owner or registrant may pay to
11the department a civil penalty of $500, the restoration fee
12prescribed under section 1960 and furnish proof of financial
13responsibility in a manner determined by the department. An
14owner or registrant may exercise this option no more than
15once in a 12-month period.

16(2) Whenever the department revokes or suspends the
17registration of any vehicle under this chapter, the
18department shall not restore or transfer the registration
19until the suspension has been served or the civil penalty has 
20been paid to the department and the vehicle owner furnishes
21proof of financial responsibility in a manner determined by
22the department and submits an application for registration to
23the department, accompanied by the fee for restoration of
24registration provided by section 1960. This subsection shall
25not apply in the following circumstances:

26(i) The owner or registrant proves to the
27satisfaction of the department that the lapse in
28financial responsibility coverage was for a period of
29less than 31 days and that the owner or registrant did
30not operate or permit the operation of the vehicle during
31the period of lapse in financial responsibility.

32(ii) The owner or registrant is a member of the
33armed services of the United States, the owner or
34registrant has previously had the financial
35responsibility required by this chapter, financial
36responsibility had lapsed while the owner or registrant
37was on temporary, emergency duty and the vehicle was not
38operated during the period of lapse in financial
39responsibility. The exemption granted by this paragraph
40shall continue for 30 days after the owner or registrant
41returns from duty as long as the vehicle is not operated
42until the required financial responsibility has been
43established.

44(iii) The insurance coverage has terminated or
45financial responsibility has lapsed simultaneously with
46or subsequent to expiration of a seasonal registration,
47as provided in section 1307(a.1) (relating to period of
48registration).

49(3) An owner whose vehicle registration has been
50suspended under this subsection shall have the same right of
51appeal under section 1377 (relating to judicial review) as

1provided for in cases of the suspension of vehicle
2registration for other purposes. The filing of the appeal
3shall act as a supersedeas, and the suspension shall not be
4imposed until determination of the matter as provided in
5section 1377. The court's scope of review in an appeal from a
6vehicle registration suspension shall be limited to
7determining whether:

8(i) the vehicle is registered or of a type that is
9required to be registered under this title; and

10(ii) there has been either notice to the department
11of a lapse, termination or cancellation in the financial
12responsibility coverage as required by law for that
13vehicle or that the owner, registrant or driver was
14requested to provide proof of financial responsibility to
15the department, a police officer or another driver and
16failed to do so. Notice to the department of the lapse,
17termination or cancellation or the failure to provide the
18requested proof of financial responsibility shall create
19a presumption that the vehicle lacked the requisite
20financial responsibility. This presumption may be
21overcome by producing clear and convincing evidence that
22the vehicle was insured at all relevant times.

23(4) Where an owner or registrant's operating privilege
24has been suspended under this subsection, the owner or
25registrant shall have the same right of appeal under section
261550 (relating to judicial review) as provided for in cases
27of suspension for other reason. The court's scope of review
28in an appeal from an operating privilege suspension shall be
29limited to determining whether:

30(i) the vehicle was registered or of a type required
31to be registered under this title; and

32(ii) the owner or registrant operated or permitted
33the operation of the same vehicle when it was not covered
34by financial responsibility. The fact that an owner,
35registrant or operator of the motor vehicle failed to
36provide competent evidence of insurance or the fact that
37the department received notice of a lapse, termination or
38cancellation of insurance for the vehicle shall create a
39presumption that the vehicle lacked the requisite
40financial responsibility. This presumption may be
41overcome by producing clear and convincing evidence that
42the vehicle was insured at the time that it was driven.

43(5) An alleged lapse, cancellation or termination of a
44policy of insurance by an insurer may only be challenged by
45requesting review by the Insurance Commissioner pursuant to
46Article XX of the act of May 17, 1921 (P.L.682, No.284),
47known as The Insurance Company Law of 1921. Proof that a
48timely request has been made to the Insurance Commissioner
49for such a review shall act as a supersedeas, staying the
50suspension of registration or operating privilege under this
51section pending a determination pursuant to section 2009(a)

1of The Insurance Company Law of 1921 or, in the event that
2further review at a hearing is requested by either party, a
3final order pursuant to section 2009(i) of The Insurance
4Company Law of 1921.

5(6)  The civil penalty collected under paragraph (1.1)
6shall be deposited into the Public Transportation Trust Fund.
