Driver and vehicle fees increased throughout the state Tuesday as part of the commonwealth’s new transportation funding bill.
Drivers will see fast results because numerous roads will be repaved this summer and bridges repaired, according to PennDOT.

The first part of Act 89, the transportation funding bill, went into effect in January with a 9.5 cent per gallon hike in wholesale gas prices.
PennDOT projects it will have an additional $186 million to repair roads and bridges the first half of 2014 as a result of the funding bill. The state transportation agency already has released an extra $25 million in liquid fuels payments to municipalities to help fix roads, mainly potholes.
