<\/a><\/p>\n

The State Transportation Commission has adopted Pennsylvania\u2019s 2027 12-Year Transportation Program, outlining more than $90 billion in anticipated transportation investments over the next 12 years.<\/p>\n

The program represents an increase of more than 3% compared with the 2025 plan and includes planned improvements to roads, bridges, public transit systems, airports, railroads and active transportation infrastructure.<\/p>\n

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, 21,291 miles of roadway have been improved statewide and work has advanced on 1,931 state and local bridges. The plan also includes projects involving train station modernization, expanded truck parking and reconstruction of roads and bridges.<\/p>\n

During the first four years of the program, beginning Oct. 1, 2026, anticipated funding from federal, state and local sources includes:<\/p>\n

<\/a>$16.9 billion for state highway and bridge projects$12.9 billion for public transit$367 million for multimodal projects$240 million for rail freight$154 million for aviation<\/p>\n

The 12-Year Transportation Program identifies planned transportation projects statewide and assigns anticipated funding over a 12-year period. Public input was used during the planning process to help identify transportation investments.<\/p>\n

Following adoption by the State Transportation Commission, PennDOT will submit the program to the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration for review. The Federal Highway Administration will coordinate with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to review the plan for compliance with air quality requirements.<\/p>\n

The State Transportation Commission is chaired by the PennDOT secretary and includes 10 appointed citizens and the majority and minority chairs of the state House and Senate transportation committees.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Under Act 120 of 1970, PennDOT is required to prepare and update Pennsylvania\u2019s 12-Year Transportation Program every two years and submit it to the commission.<\/p>\n
