In the wake of the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) rejection of Pennsylvania’s application to toll Interstate 80 and Gov. Ed Rendell’s call for a special legislative session, Rep. Stan Saylor (R-York), chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, today announced the House Republican Policy Committee will hold hearings on a number of legislative proposals to provide for Pennsylvania’s transportation infrastructure needs.

Pennsylvania can take advantage of innovative collaborations and save taxpayer money by teaming up with private industry through public-private partnerships (P3s), members of the House Republican Policy Committee learned during a public hearing at Grove City College in Mercer County on Tuesday, said Rep. Dick Stevenson (R-Mercer/Butler), who hosted the hearing.
