   Act 209 Report -Traffic Impact Fee Study  
  The Act 209 Traffic Impact Fee Study has been prepared in accordance with the requirements set forth in Pennsylvania Act 209 on behalf of Lower Providence Township. Act 209 was signed into law effective December 19, 1990.  It amends the Pennsylvania Municipalities Code (Act 247 of 1968, as amended) to permit municipalities to assess transportation impact fees on new development within their boundaries, provided they have adopted a municipal transportation impact fee ordinance in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Act. Impact fees under Act 209 may only be used for those costs incurred for improvements designated in the adopted transportation capital improvements plan of the municipality that are attributable to new development. ; it neither applies to, nor restricts the procedures or powers of the municipality to require on-site transportation improvements to remedy impacts of new development.
