Description
The Multimodal Transportation Fund provides grants to encourage economic development and ensure a safe, reliable transportation system for Pennsylvania residents. The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) administers the program under the direction of the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA). It supports transportation assets serving existing communities, including development, rehabilitation, and enhancement projects.
Eligible work includes streetscapes, lighting, sidewalks, pedestrian safety improvements, connections between transportation assets, and transportation components of transit-oriented development. Projects may serve roads, bridges, bicycle routes, bus and rail services, airports, and rail or freight ports. The program emphasizes coordination between land use and transportation, improved use of existing assets, and community enhancement. This CFA fund is separate from PennDOT’s Multimodal Program.
