911 Centers will soon have more funding, according to The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency and officials hope it'll help bridge some of the issues centers have seen across the nation.
Funding for 911 centers is on track to meet or exceed the projections of $370 million by March of 2025, thanks to Act 34, which Governor Josh Shapiro signed in 2023.“The 911 fee is a primary funding source for 911’s system. The fee increase is expected to generate about $370 million each year, and that will cover 70% a county's cost to cover to provide 911 service,” said Jeff Boyle, Executive Deputy Director for PEMA.
The second quarter of this year was projected to have a revenue total of $92.5 million and bypassed with $97.1 million, and considered a success. The center hasn’t seen the funds quite yet, but with this funding quarter, they are expected to see an influx of additional funds.
