HARRISBURG – Sen. Wayne Langerholc, Jr. (R-37), Chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, offered the following statement on the House of Representative’s passage of Senate Bill 382:
“I thank the House Leadership and Chairman Tim Hennessey for prioritizing my Senate Bill 382 to reform the Public-Private Transportation Partnership (P3) statute and to stop PennDOT’s hostile P3 bridge tolling takeover,” said Senator Langerholc. “It is over one year since PennDOT’s P3 Board passed the resolution to toll bridges on the interstate system or expressway. The General Assembly and the motoring public have been shielded from answers on the size, scope, and tolling structure. This aggressive overreach must be tempered with compromise, particularly since Pennsylvania can leverage $4 billion in new funding from Congress’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.”
