If the bill becomes law, any Pennsylvania city with a population over 100,000 could not have horse-drawn carriages in operation for any monetary gain. Those who violate that law would face a $1,000-per day fine.
The proposed legislation would force Pittsburgh, Erie and Allentown to join Philadelphia in the ban. The four cities combined have a population greater than 2 million, or nearly one-sixth of the state’s 13 million residents.
