-2FISCAL IMPACT: The changes to Section 6109(h) w ould have no ad verse fiscal im pact on
Com m onw ealth or political subd ivision fund s.
The ad d ition of Section 6109(g) w ould have no ad verse fiscal im pact on the Com m onw ealth, School
District of Philad elphia, the City of Philad elphia, or the Philad elp hia Parking Authority as current
revenues are consistent w ith the $35 m illion threshold . All net on -street parking revenue from the
Philad elphia Parking Authority w ill continu e to be d ivid ed betw een the City of Philad elp hia and the
Philad elphia School District accord ing to existing m ethod ology. For FY 2011, revenue from on -street
parking regulations w as $41,785,000 w ith $34,185,000 going to the City of Philad elphia and $7,600,000
going to the School District of Philad elphia.
The changes to Section 3116 w ould provid e som e fund ing for PennDOT for their role in the ARLE
Program . Accord ing to PennDOT the d epartm ent incurs about 3% of the total program value to
gather all the applications, review them , initiate all the ind ivid ual legal agreem ents and m onitor the
ARLE program from a PennDOT perspective. The Governor’s Executive Bud get for 2012-13 projects
$5 m illion in ARLE grants d uring the 2012-13 fiscal year. This w ou ld im ply that PennDOT w ill take
$150,000 for the ad m inistration of the ARLE program . Accord ing to PennDOT, the new selection
com m ittee w ill have no ad verse fiscal im p act on Com m onw ealth fund s. The requirem ent that all
ARLE grants w ill be d istributed w ithout set asid e for the hom e m unicipality could result in the
red uction of fund s to the City of Philad elphia d ue to the fact that the city w ould no longer be
guaranteed 50% of the revenue subm itted to PennDOT. Philad elphia received $8,423,000 in 2010
ARLE grant fund ing and $1,500,000 in 2011 ARLE fund ing.
