Programs

What is a Program?

Pennsylvania's Transportation Program is the state's transportation agenda for the next twelve-year period. The programming process is designed to help Pennsylvania prioritize its many transportation projects within the available funding. This collaboration involves the State Transportation Commission, Metropolitan Planning Organization, Rural Planning Organizations, Federal Transportation Agencies and owners and operators of the transportation system.

 

The Commonwealth's Twelve Year Transportation Program (TYP) covers all transportation modes, both passenger and freight; and includes consideration of public and private transportation systems, facilities and operations. The TYP is used to guide the planning and decision making process toward meeting the Commonwealth's vision of seamless transportation system.

 

How does a project become part of the Transportation Program? An individual or group wishing to have a project placed on the Program should first contact the regional MPO, RPO or County Planning Agency in their area. These agencies, which maintain a listing of all candidate projects in the region, will consider the project for inclusion on the regional Transportation Improvement Program and the Twelve Year Transportation Program.  PennDOT and local government officials may also identify candidate transportation improvement projects. These projects will also be presented to the MPO, RPO or County Planning Agency for consideration for inclusion on the Program.

 

Every two years the planning partners rework the TYP. All the planning partners cooperatively develop the general, procedural, and financial guidance and distribute it to each regional entity to develop their portion of the Program.
