A RESOLUTION
1 Directing the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission to study the

4 WHEREAS, Inclement weather prevented many employees on the

8 delays and inconvenience to motorists exiting the turnpike at

11 even if it means allowing cars to exit the turnpike for a period
12 of time without stopping to pay tolls; therefore be it
13 RESOLVED, That the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission be
14 directed to study this problem, identify solutions and make a
15 written report to the House of Representatives no later than
