HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ‘TO: All House Memibers FROM: — KEITH. McCAL| ‘The Speaker DATE: —August6, 2010 RE: PennDOT Legislative Unit ‘As you are aware, forsome time we have been in discussions with PennDOT and the Governor's office concerning the viability of the legislative unit that handles the various types of transportation work that we process for our constituents. Through those discussions we have reached a compromise that not only preserves our ability to provide the core services upon which ‘our constituents rely but that also achieves notable cost savings. ‘You should have eoxved a eter ftom Transportation Secretary Allen Biehler that outlines the key changes, namely the Friday, August 13" deadline after which our offices will no longer process work for people and businesses that are fee-for-service operations, most of which are fontracted agents of PennDOT. In nearly all cases, these contracted agents are charging constituents an extra fe for their services. ‘Our caucuses will continue to work with PennDOT to ensure that all questions are answered and that district office staff is given the tools they need to identify the type of work we can and ‘cannot accept. Additional information willbe provided to staff next week Im the meantime, plase feel free to contact your eaucus PennDOT office, my office, or the Minority Leader's office if you have any questions.
