If you are engaged in an operation that requires a highway occupancy permit for restoration of damages in Pennsylvania, you are required under chapter 67 PA Code 459.5(b) to file a Pennsylvania Highway Restoration and Maintenance Bond as a condition of licensure.
A surety bond protects the party requesting the bond, the Obligee, against any financial losses as a result of poor financial decisions, damages, unethical decisions, or a failure to follow state and local laws on the part of you, the Principal. The Pennsylvania Highway Restoration and Maintenance Bond holds you accountable for your business decisions.
By possessing a Pennsylvania Highway Restoration and Maintenance Bond, you are telling your Obligee that you can be trusted as a Principal and that you stand behind your business decisions.
