The State Transportation Commission has adopted the 2027 12-Year Transportation Program.
The plan features accomplishments over the past two years and builds on the Shapiro Administration’s progress, with 21,291 road miles improved statewide and work advancing on 1,931 state and local bridges so far.
Harrisburg, PA – The State Transportation Commission (STC) adopted the 2027 12-Year Transportation Program (TYP) yesterday, 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% 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 PennDOT’s 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,” said Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Secretary Mike Carroll. “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.
Now that the STC has adopted the update, PennDOT will submit the plan to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration for review. The FHWA coordinates with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to review the plan’s conformity with air quality requirements.
The State Transportation Commission is chaired by the PennDOT secretary and consists of 10 appointed citizens as well as the majority and minority chairs of the state House and Senate Transportation committees. Act 120 of 1970 requires PennDOT to prepare, update, and submit Pennsylvania’s TYP every two years to the STC.
