Harrisburg, PA – Today, Governor Josh Shapiro announced that 50 highway, bridge, aviation, port, bike, and pedestrian projects in 27 counties across Pennsylvania have been selected for $54 million in funding through the Multimodal Transportation Fund (MTF).
Together, these new investments will improve safety, strengthen local economies, and enhance mobility across the Commonwealth, connecting communities and people to opportunity. In Lower Paxton Township, Dauphin County, $972,000 will support the redesign of the intersection at Prince Street and Houcks Road to make it safer for pedestrians and vehicles. In Allentown, more than $545,000 will create an ADA-accessible bicycle and pedestrian connection between Trexler and Cedar Creek parks; and in Avondale, Chester County, over $645,000 in Multimodal funds will support the full reconstruction of a section along Pennsylvania Avenue.
Since taking office, the Shapiro Administration has delivered a total of $197 million to local communitiesthrough the MTF, providing financial assistance to municipalities, councils of governments, businesses, economic development organizations, public transportation agencies, and ports and rail freight entities to strengthen communities, pedestrian safety, and transit revitalization.
“When we invest in safer roads, bridges, ports, and transit, we’re creating jobs, strengthening local economies, and making it easier for people to get where they need to go — whether that’s to work, school, or a small business on Main Street,” said Governor Shapiro. “These projects connect communities across the Commonwealth and keep Pennsylvania moving forward safely and efficiently, no matter how they get around.”
Reflecting PennDOT’s commitment to improving locally owned infrastructure, several of the projects will also help local governments address bridges and roadways in need of repair or replacement.
“Whether we’re making roadways more accessible to all modes of travel or creating new connections for businesses investing in our communities, we’re investing in projects that make people’s lives better,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “Under Governor Shapiro’s leadership, we will continue to bring long-lasting improvements across the state.”
The 2026-27 budget signed by Governor Shapiro allocates $775 million over the next two fiscal years for shovel-ready projects to repair state-owned roads across Pennsylvania. Under the Shapiro Administration,20,538 road miles have been improved statewide and work has advanced on 1,898 state and local bridges.
PennDOT will begin accepting applications for the next round of MTF grants on September 14, 2026, at 8:00 AM. Applications are due by 4:00 PM on October 30, 2026. Grant recipients for funding available in summer 2027 are expected to be announced next year.
