Through the new Pennsylvania Community Transportation Initiative (PCTI), PennDOT is allocating $60 Million of federal/state transportation funds over the first two years of the 2009 Transportation Improvement Program to invest in smart transportation projects across the Commonwealth. This forum is intended to provide background information, insight on smart transportation and the program's priorities, and how to apply. Initial applications must be submitted no later than December 15th.
Fundamentally, smart transportation is linking land use and transportation to create better communities. This linkage requires strong partnerships between the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, MPOs/RPOs, and local municipalities. PCTI is intended to provide an incentive for projects that promote collaborative decision-making, advance integrated land use and transportation decisions, and to incentivize regional and multi-municipal cooperation throughout the Commonwealth.
Join the Local Government Academy, Sustainable Pittsburgh and 10,000 Friends of PA as they host this free, roundtable discussion on the PCTI and Smart Transportation.
Panelists:
Dan Cessna, PennDot District 11 Executive
Mark Schneider, Managing Partner of Fourth River Development
& a representative from SPC
