The plan addresses roads, transit, and other transportation infrastructure over the next 12 years.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) adopted a new 12-Year Transportation Program (YTP) that outlines a plan for improvements to the state’s transportation infrastructure.
As described in an article in Roads & Bridges, the plan addresses roads, bridges, transit systems, airports, railroads and active transport and anticipates federal, state, and local funding that includes $352 million for multimodal projects, $12.5 billion for public transit, and $16.4 billion for state highway and bridge projects, in addition to funding for rail and aviation infrastructure.
According to the article, “Now that the PennDOT has adopted the update, it has been submitted to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration for review. The FHWA coordinates with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to review the plan's conformity with air quality requirements.”
