HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Josh Shapiro’s plan to boost funding for public transportation systems has been approved by Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives. But it faces tough odds in the Republican-controlled Senate. The Democratic-controlled House voted 106-95 on Wednesday, nearly along partisan lines. The Democratic governor wants the 20% increase for transit systems still trying to recover pre-pandemic ridership numbers and facing a drop-off in federal funding. Republicans, however, are protesting the amount of the funding increase and say public transit systems have structural problems that can’t be fixed by more money alone. Democrats defended the increase as an economic good and necessary to keep transit systems from cutting services or increasing fares.
