    Building Big Things in Pennsylvania

    Infrastructure

    Governor Shapiro knows Pennsylvanians travel on our roads, bridges, and public transit systems every day to go to work, see friends and family, and explore the Commonwealth. That’s why in his first three years, Pennsylvania repaired more poor-condition bridges than any other state and paved more miles of roadway than any time in the past decade – and we’re not done! 

    The Shapiro Administration is rebuilding the Commonwealth’s infrastructure.

    • Governor Shapiro led a coordinated state, local, and federal response to reopen I-95 safely – just 12 days after it collapsed. 

    • Secured his promise to free up an estimated $125 million annually for Pennsylvania’s roads, bridges, and infrastructure needs from the Motor License Fund in each of his first two budgets.

    • Secured an additional $80.5 million for Pennsylvania’s bridges and roads.

    • The Shapiro Administration received federal approval of $711 million in the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) funding, supporting 69 projects to improve internet infrastructure in the Commonwealth. 

    • Invested over $143 million through the Multimodal Transportation Fund for projects that improve safety, strengthen local economies, and enhance mobility in local communities. 

    • Awarded $45 million to 49 projects in 26 counties to give people free access to reliable, high-speed internet in public places like schools, libraries, and community health centers. 

    • Approved $204 million in Broadband Infrastructure Program grants to 53 projects in 42 counties across Pennsylvania that will connect 40,000 homes and businesses, bringing high-speed internet to over 100,000 Pennsylvanians. 

    • As a result of Governor Shapiro’s work to secure significant new funding, the Commonwealth repaired more structurally deficient bridges in 2023 than any other state in the nation – and improved more miles of roadway than at any time in the past 10 years. 

    Infographic that reads: Since the start of the Shapiro-Davis Administration, fixed the second most poor condition bridges in the country -- second only to California, fixed more than 19,000 miles of roadways, and secured over $391 million in new funding for our roads and bridges

    The Governor secured investment in safe, clean public transportation systems and clean energy transportation options.

    • Prevented immediate Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) service cuts and fare increases in 2024 by transferring $153 million in federal funds. 

    • Approved $394 million in future capital funding for SEPTA to preserve operations for the next two years in the absence of legislative action, allowing SEPTA to maintain current service levels and avoid planned service cuts.

    • Directed $219.9 million in additional capital funding to help SEPTA complete urgent safety upgrades, restore full Regional Rail service, ensure compliance with federal safety orders, and strengthen transit infrastructure.

    • Secured an additional $80.5 million in FY 2024-25 to repair and maintain Pennsylvania’s public transportation systems.

    • Pennsylvania received over $140 million in federal passenger rail investments to expand the passenger rail between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh and to study and develop the Scranton to New York City corridor, the Pittsburgh to Philadelphia corridor, and the Reading-Philadelphia-New York corridor.

    • Awarded $51.9 million to 81 projects in 40 counties to expand access to, and the reliability of, electric vehicle charging within Pennsylvania through the federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program. Pennsylvania was one of the first states to open its first EV charging station under the program.
    • Announced a comprehensive, nearly $30 million plan to reduce traffic congestion, improve safety, and strengthen transportation access around the Philadelphia Sports Complex and the Lower South Philadelphia Region in collaboration with the City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia’s sports teams, Live Casino & Hotel, and regional stakeholders.
