HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania’s massive transportation needs were not much in the mix last week when lawmakers and Gov. Tom Corbett settled on a new state budget, but that will soon change.

Corbett’s hand-picked Transportation Funding Advisory Commission will issue its recommendations Aug. 1, and the governor and lawmakers are expected to dive into the issue after the Legislature returns to session this fall.

The commission has at least one more meeting on its schedule, but Transportation Secretary Barry Schoch said the group already has identified options for $2.5 billion in recurring annual revenue for roads, bridges, mass transit and other transportation infrastructure.

Among the probable choices will be increasing license and registration fees, uncapping the oil company franchise tax, diverting vehicle sales taxes into the motor license fund, funding less of the state police’s costs from the motor license fund, increasing local transit matches, changing borrowing practices and consolidating mass transit.
