Description
PennDOT’s Multimodal Transportation Fund Statewide Competitive Funding Program provides financial assistance for priority transportation infrastructure investments across Pennsylvania. Established by Act 89 of 2013, it supports improvements in any transportation mode, including highways and bridges, aviation, public transit, passenger rail, rail freight, ports and waterways, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
Eligible work coordinates land use with transportation assets, improves connectivity or use of existing infrastructure, enhances streetscapes and pedestrian safety, or supports transit-oriented development. Examples include sidewalks, crosswalks, bicycle lanes, bus stops, access roads, port upgrades, and local highways and bridges benefiting the state system. A project need not involve multiple modes. PennDOT’s program is separate from the similarly named Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) program.
