The PA Auditor General announced that his new audit of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation shows the agency could be further along in repairing rough highways and fixing nearly 3,000 structurally deficient bridges with the billions of dollars it has been forced to pay to State Police.
The audit shows that transfers from the Motor License Fund to State Police have totaled more than $4.25 billion since the 2012-13 fiscal year, money that PennDOT could otherwise have used to address a growing list of needed repairs across the state.
Under the state Constitution, proceeds from the Motor License Fund are to be used solely for the construction, reconstruction, maintenance and repair of and safety on public highways and bridges.
