The bill amends Title 74 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to include a new section specifically addressing projects related to the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA). This new section, designated as 9107.1, mandates that within 90 days of the section's effective date, SEPTA must submit one or more transportation projects for consideration by the board. These projects are to involve one or more transportation facilities, thereby facilitating public-private partnerships in the region.
The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, emphasizing the urgency for SEPTA to present its proposed projects promptly. This legislative change aims to enhance transportation infrastructure and services in Southeastern Pennsylvania through collaborative efforts between public entities and private partners.
