Planning and Environmental Linkages; Virtual Public Meeting
[51 Pa.B. 2362]
[Saturday, April 24, 2021]The Department of Transportation (Department) will host an on-demand virtual public meeting for a Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study exploring sustainable transportation funding options. The virtual public meeting takes place from April 29, 2021, to June 1, 2021, and will be accessible online at all hours of the day at www.penndot.gov/funding.
The PEL Study, in support of the Department Pathways Program (Program), is being conducted to identify near-term and long-term alternative funding solutions and establish a methodology for their evaluation.
In February, the Department announced candidate bridge projects being considered as a part of the Major Bridges Public-Private Partnership (P3) initiative. This initiative, the first of the Program, was formed in response to one of the early findings of the PEL Study—that tolling of major bridges in need of replacement or rehabilitation is a potential viable near-term funding solution. The draft PEL Study report is currently available for review and comment and identifies additional medium-term to long-term funding alternatives that could be considered for implementation.
The Department encourages everyone to review the materials presented in the virtual public meeting and to provide comments, which will be accepted throughout the duration of the virtual public meeting. Online comments can be submitted directly from the virtual public meeting web site or by other comment submission methods, including:
• E-mail: PennDOTPathways@pa.gov
• Hotline: (717) 325-6129
For more information about the Program, individuals can visit: www.penndot.gov/funding.
