**Thank you for your interest in the Pennsylvania Communities Transportation Initiative (PCTI). We received over 380 applications, and are currently reviewing the applications to identify those that best meet the intent of this program. This incentive program is one small part of a new direction at PennDOT called “Smart Transportation”. Smart Transportation is about partnering to build great communities for future generations of Pennsylvanians by linking transportation investments and land use planning and decision-making. For more information about this direction and how to get involved, please explore the About and Get Involved portions of this webpage.
We will post the projects that have been selected for the PCTI program on this webpage, so please check back here in the next 45-60 days for more information.**
We all know the world is changing rapidly around us. Every day, we see the prices increase at our local gas station, we read in the newspaper about global warming, we talk to our neighbors about traffic congestion or the slowing economy.
All of these trends are changing the needs and demands of our transportation system. To adapt to this changing world, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is integrating a concept called “Smart Transportation” into the way we do business.
Smart Transportation simply asks us to understand and embrace our evolving financial, environmental, technological, and social contexts as we approach our transportation challenges. It is about consistently applying the most innovative tools and ideas to solve our new transportation challenges, while also helping to build great communities across Pennsylvania.
On this website, you will find a number of resources that will help you understand what we are trying to achieve, and how you can get involved with this effort. We are still constructing this website, and it will be continually updated as the Smart Transportation effort goes forward. Please email us at smarttransportation@state.pa.us with any comments or suggestions.
We look forward to everyone's help as we seek to build a more efficient, affordable, and sustainable transportation system. Together, we can ensure that our communities remain great places for future generations of Pennsylvanians.
