FTA/CPG statewide 2025-27

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) received a Formula Grant award of $709,012.16 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on April 9, 2025, under the Metropolitan Transportation Planning and State and Non-Metropolitan Planning and Research program (CFDA 20.505). This funding supports PennDOT's Fiscal Year 2025-27 Transportation Planning and Research Program, which provides statewide transportation planning activities designed to develop long-range transportation plans, conduct technical studies, and create transportation improvement programs across Pennsylvania's multimodal transportation network.

The grant enables PennDOT to advance metropolitan and state transportation planning initiatives by supporting the development of unified planning work programs, comprehensive operational analyses, and transit development plans. As a state-level transportation authority, PennDOT utilizes these formula-allocated funds to conduct planning activities that enhance mobility, safety, and connectivity while supporting infrastructure improvements across highways, transit systems, and other transportation modes. The funding supports a 24-month performance period covering fiscal years 2025 through 2027, with assistance restricted to planning and research activities in compliance with federal program guidelines prohibiting use of funds for capital, operating, or maintenance expenses.
