In keeping with the recommendations of the Pennsylvania Economy League’s transportation study released last fall, the TCI plan includes a combination of various funding sources that would grow with inflation.
TCI’s plan would fund transit’s immediate problem. It also, addresses highway and bridge long-term needs and provides significant funding for local roads. A copy of the industry’s plan may be view here (PDF 2.2 MB).
