The Punjab Urban Transport Fund Act, 2019
The Punjab Urban Transport Fund Act, 2019 establishes a dedicated fund and governing management committee to improve and modernize public transportation across urban areas in Punjab. It applies to residents and businesses in urban areas who purchase fuel or special vehicle registration number plates, as additional levies on petrol, diesel, and personalized license plates directly finance the fund. Overseen by a high-level committee led by the Chief Minister, the Act matters because it creates a dedicated financial mechanism to build urban transit infrastructure, support public bus projects, conduct feasibility studies, and improve overall public mobility and transportation services in cities across the state.
