Description
The Multimodal Transportation Fund supports the development, rehabilitation, and enhancement of transportation assets in Pennsylvania communities. The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) administers the program under the direction of the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA). Its goals are to encourage economic development and provide residents with a safe, reliable transportation system.
Supported projects connect local land use with transportation, improve streetscapes and pedestrian safety, increase connectivity or use of existing transportation assets, and support transit-oriented development. Examples include sidewalks, crosswalks, bicycle facilities, transit stops, rail freight improvements, airport facilities, port infrastructure, and transportation corridors. Transit-oriented development means neighborhood-scale development oriented toward transit, rather than a single real estate project. This CFA fund is separate from PennDOT’s Multimodal Program.
