Description
PennDOT’s Multimodal Transportation Fund Statewide Competitive Funding Program supports priority investments in transportation assets across Pennsylvania. Established under Act 89 of 2013, it funds projects that enhance communities, improve pedestrian safety, or revitalize transit. Eligible work can address streetscapes and sidewalks, highways and bridges, bicycle facilities, public transportation, aviation, passenger rail, ports and waterways, or rail freight.
Projects may coordinate land use with transportation assets, improve the connectivity or use of existing assets, or support transit-oriented development. A project need not involve more than one mode. PennDOT administers this competitive program separately from the Multimodal Transportation Fund managed by the Commonwealth Financing Authority.
