Historic Statewide Transportation
Funding Solution Reached
Pennsylvania's most comprehensive piece of state transportation legislation in decades was
signed into law in 2013. The law invests an additional $2.4 billion annually in roads, bridges,
highways, transit systems, ports, bike paths and other areas. A top priority of the Allegheny
Conference Transportation and Infrastructure Committee chaired by Gregory Jordan and
Flemming Bjoernslev, it represents a big step forward in securing the competitiveness of
Pennsylvania and our region for years to come.
