The state's new mid-range transportation strategy includes nearly $17 billion for roads and bridges and $367 million for multimodal projects.
The Pennsylvania State Transportation Commission announced its 2027 12-Year Transportation Program, which commits over $90 billion to roads, bridges, airports, railroads and transit. It includes $12.9 billion for public transit.
According to an article in Transportation Today by Liz Carey, "The funding amount represents a 3 percent increase over the 2025 TYP. Officials said the plan features not only accomplishments over the past two years, but builds on the more than 21,000 miles of road improvements and 1,931 state and bridge improvements made state wide during the current administration."
The TYP includes projects across all modes of transportation and accounts for federal, state and local funding sources.
