According to the State Transportation Commission, Pennsylvania will invest more than $90 billion over the next 12 years on roads, bridges, transit systems, airports, railroad and other active transportation.
The commission adopted the state’s 2027 12-Year Transportation Program that determines how the state will allocate transportation infrastructure funding. The funding amount represents a 3 percent increase over the 2025 TYP. Officials said the plan features not only accomplishments over the past two years, but builds on the more than 21,000 miles of road improvements and 1,931 state and bridge improvements made state wide during the current administration.
“This plan was developed through significant collaboration with Pennsylvania communities to enhance safety and modernize our system,” Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Secretary Mike Carroll said. “This investment in our transportation network helps ensure that the Commonwealth remains a safe place to live, work and visit.”
According to the plan, beginning on Oct. 1, 2026 and going through the first four years of the TYP, the state will have access to $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, and $154 million for aviation. The figures account for funding from federal, state and local sources. The TYP includes statewide planned projects across all modes of transportation and reflects funding assigned to these projects over a 12-year period. Public input into the TYP planning process played a role in identifying investments into transportation modes, planners said.
