Our Commonwealth’s aging infrastructure continues to deteriorate, yet the demands that are placed on it continue to grow. Increasing cars, trucks and buses on our roads and bridges; old and crumbling water and sewer systems; correctional facilities bulging at the seams and costly, inefficient public transportation systems are all placed on taxpayers’ shoulders. The House Republican infrastructure task force was formed to examine the infrastructure that exists in Pennsylvania today.
The infrastructure task force has been examining all aspects of Pennsylvania’s infrastructure to ensure that the taxpayer is getting back what they put in. By exploring more cost effective funding mechanisms the task force is working to develop innovative methods to improve the various facets of the Commonwealth’s infrastructure.
The infrastructure task force is charged with:
- Developing innovative methods to fund and improve the various facets of the Commonwealth’s infrastructure.
- Areas of focus will include roads and bridges, mass transit, water and sewer, aviation, and maritime transportation.
