How Paving Projects Are Funded
All state funds must be used on highways / roadways and a percentage can be used towards equipment, salaries, materials, maintenance, and/or snow removal, etc.
These paving projects are paid in part by 2 different state fund programs:
1. State Liquid Fuels Allocation:
- A portion of the gas tax that is levied by the state goes to PennDot and the remaining portion goes into a pool of monies that gets distributed to all townships. The percentage that each township receives is based on it's population and the total mileage of dedicated roadways.
- Northampton Township received $650,330 in 1999 from the Liquid Fuels Fund.
- The Liquid Fuels money is derived from the 12 cents per gallon tax which all of us pay at the fuel pump. The State of Pennsylvania puts the first 1/2 cent out of the 12 cents into the local government pool of money.
- Then the state takes 20% of the remaining 11.5 cents which equals 2.3 cents and puts it into the same local government pool of money.
- Effectively then 2.8 cents out of every 12 cents of the Liquid Fuels tax money per gallon of gas, is put into the local government pool of monies.
- There are 2,572 Municipalities in Pennsylvania, of which Northampton Township is one. The amount of money Northampton receives is based on the amount of miles of local roadways in Northampton Township and its population.
- 40% ($260,132 in 1999) of what the Township gets back from the state goes towards Construction/Rebuilding of roads.
- The remaining 60% ($390,198 in 1999) of what the township gets back from the state goes towards: street cleaning, signals, signs, pot hole repair, storm sewer drain repair, plows, salts & cinders, maintenance on machines, chemicals to kill weeds on the streets & curbs, electricity on traffic lights, speed limit signs, stop signs, line painting, street lighting, etc.
2. State Turnback Program:
- The state highways are offered back to the township in this state turnback program. The Township makes an appraisal of the road in terms of repair, storm sewer, traffic, resurfacing, line striping, etc. The Township engineer and the public works department then make the appraisal and a punch list of these items needed to be addressed to meet the Northampton Township standards. The state in turn takes the list and makes all of the necessary repairs. After all repairs are made, the Township re-inspects the highway, and then the Public Works department and the Township engineer recommend the highway for dedication back to the township. The Supervisors then have to vote on it. An ordinance resolution is then passed and then the Township becomes responsible for that particular road's repairs, plowing, maintenance, etc. for the life of the Township. The State Allocation is paid to the Township annually based on the mileage of the roadway.
- State Turnback Program Process:
- Public Works Department calls PennDot and a representative goes to the Township.
- Both parties are then instructed to drive the roads the Township wants to pave.
- The Township tells PennDot how many miles of roadway is to be paved and the estimated cost of the entire project.
- PennDot then gives the Township a start date to proceed with paving.
- Public Works then proceeds. Because Northampton Township belongs to the Bucks County Consortium, the township saves the taxpayers money.
- PennDot continuously makes inspections of Roadways being paved by the Township.
- The Township is subject to PennDot approval at every inspection.
