Pennsylvania to Invest Over $90B to Upgrade Transportation Network Over the Next 12 Years

HARRISBURG, PA — The State Transportation Commission (STC) adopted the 2027 12-Year Transportation Program (TYP), a plan reflecting an anticipated investment of over $90 billion over the next 12 years for improvements to roads, bridges, transit systems, airports, railroads, and active transportation: an increase of more than 3 percent from the 2025 TYP.

The plan builds on the Shapiro administration’s progress, with 21,291 miles of road improved statewide and work advancing on 1,931 state and local bridges so far. The TYP also highlights some of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's (PennDOT) initiatives and accomplishments over the past two years, ranging from train station modernization to truck parking expansion, as well as ongoing reconstruction on vital roads and bridges.

“This plan was developed through significant collaboration with Pennsylvania communities to enhance safety and modernize our system,” 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.”

In the first four years of the TYP, beginning October 1, 2026, the newly adopted program anticipates the following funding to be available statewide from federal, state, and local sources:

  • $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

The TYP includes statewide planned projects across all modes of transportation, and reflects funding assigned to these projects over a 12-year period. Receiving public input early in the TYP planning process played a key role in identifying investments in the various transportation modes.
