Pennsylvania announces 45 multimodal projects to benefit 22 counties

Feb. 9, 2018

This is the first time transit, aviation, rail freight, and pedestrian and bicycle modes obtained dedicated funding in the state

Gov. Tom Wolf announced Thursday that 45 highway, bridge, bike and pedestrian, and ports and waterways projects will benefit communities in 22 counties through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Multimodal Transportation Fund.

The $41.5 million investment follows PennDOT's evaluation of 222 applications requesting more than $241 million. The department made selections based on safety benefits, regional economic conditions, the technical and financial feasibility, job creation, energy efficiency, and operational sustainability.

The Multimodal Transportation Fund was created by Act 89, enacted in November 2013, Pennsylvania's far-reaching transportation funding plan. For the first time, transit, aviation, rail freight, and pedestrian and bicycle modes obtained dedicated sources of funds, putting the modes on a firmer footing for future initiatives.
