8915 - Conversion to toll roads.

     § 8915.  Conversion to toll roads.
        In order to facilitate vehicular traffic within and across
     this Commonwealth, and to facilitate the completion of the
     turnpike extensions and improvements authorized in section 8911
     (relating to improvement and extension authorizations), and
     subject to prior legislative approval by the General Assembly
     and the United States Congress, the commission is hereby
     authorized and empowered to convert to toll roads such portions
     of Pennsylvania's interstate highway system as may facilitate
     the completion of the turnpike extensions and improvements
     authorized in sections 8912 (relating to subsequent extension
     authorizations), 8913 (relating to additional subsequent
     extension authorizations) and 8914 (relating to further
     subsequent authorizations) and to operate and maintain such
     converted interstates as toll roads upon the approval by the
     Congress of the United States of America and the General
     Assembly of this Commonwealth of legislation expressly
     permitting the conversion of such interstates to toll roads.
     Such conversions shall take place at a time and manner set forth
     in the plan for the conversion prepared by the commission with
     the cooperation of the department. The provisions authorizing
     the commission to construct, operate and maintain the turnpike
     routes in sections 8911, 8912 and 8913 shall be subject to:
            (1)  the prior passage by the Congress of the United
        States and the General Assembly of this Commonwealth of
        legislation permitting the conversion of certain interstates
        to toll roads; or
            (2)  the availability of such other funds as might become
        available in amounts that would be sufficient to fund to
        completion any of the individual turnpike extensions and
        improvements set forth in sections 8912, 8913 and 8914 so
        long as no turnpike extension or improvement authorized by
        section 8914 is undertaken until after all the turnpike
        extensions authorized by section 8913 are completed and no
        turnpike extension authorized by section 8913 is undertaken
        until after all the turnpike extensions and improvements
        authorized by section 8912 are completed. The commission is
        authorized to use Federal funds which may be available for
        toll roads only pursuant to the approval of the Secretary of
        Transportation and only pursuant to the authority granted in
        section 19 of the act of September 30, 1985 (P.L.240, No.61),
        known as the Turnpike Organization, Extension and Toll Road
        Conversion Act.
