The Pennsylvania State Transportation Commission (STC) recently adopted the 2025 12-Year Transportation Program (TYP), which will take effect Oct. 1.

“Transportation planning is a lengthy and collaborative process. By the time a new project starts in your neighborhood, it’s already several years old,” Mike Carroll, Pennsylvania Department of Transporation (PennDOT) Secretary said. “PennDOT is always seeking ways to improve transportation infrastructure, and we look forward to putting the next 12 years of improvements into motion for travelers around the state.”

The TYP lists planned transportation projects statewide and assigns funding over a 12-year period. It also highlights initiatives and accomplishments over the past two years.

Over the next 12 years, PennDOT anticipates that $88 billion will be available for airport, bridge, road, transit system, and railroad improvements, and active transportation. This is a more than 5 percent increase from the 2023 TYP.

During the first four years of the TYP, PennDOT anticipates $12.5 billion for public transit, $16.4 billion for state highway and bridge projects, $175 million for aviation, $236 million for rail freight, and $352 million for multimodal projects from federal, state, and local sources.

PennDOT submitted the approved plan to the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration for review.
