Legislative Tracking Center
The YAC Legislative Tracking Center
The YAC works to keep young people and transit advocates in the Southeastern Pennsylvania region up to date on the latest news concerning transit. One major determinant of the future of transit in Pennsylvania is the legislation coming out of Harrisburg. To this end, our Government Affairs Committee has taken on the task of piloting this Legislative Tracking Center. Here, young people and transit advocates alike can find easy to understand descriptions of the transit-related bills currently working their way through our state capital.
Pennsylvania State Government is comprised of three branches. The executive branch is led by the Governor, the legislature is comprised of the Pennsylvania House and Senate, and the judiciary is comprised of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and many lower courts. Legislation that affects transit moves through the State Legislature and is signed into law by the Governor.
