The state's automated speed enforcement pilot program was among the topics covered during Thursday's department budget hearing with transportation department officials. Among other topics discussed were local police radar, bridge projects, REAL ID and electric vehicles.

requires drivers to be exceeding the posted speed limit by at least 11 mph in active work zones to be issued a violation. The first offense in any given 12-month period results in a warning; a second offense, a $75 fine; and subsequent offenses, $150. Over the past three years, about 53,000 notices of violations were issued to drivers for three or more excessive speeding offenses, according to the report.

“I don’t want to hide behind this as an excuse and I’m not going to,” Carroll said. “We will have to advance a system change to accommodate whatever language is in the bill once the governor signs it.” “We’re thankful for that and that savings will be available for us for maintenance this summer and we look forward to doing more projects,” he said.With the repeated postponements over the past four years of the federal enforcement of REAL ID, Carroll said he anticipates more people will now wait closer to the May 7, 2025, deadline to obtain this credential that will be required to enter federal building or military installation or board a domestic commercial flight after that date.

Carroll further added PennDOT is working with Sen. Kristin Phillips-Hill, R-York County, and others who asked the department to reconsider the documents necessary to obtain a REAL ID for folks who have had a name change with an eye toward making it easier.
