Pennsylvania FFY 2017-2020 STIP Planning Findings ......................................... 171 OVERVIEW In compliance with all applicable State and Federal requirements, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and its Planning Partners at the county and regional levels, developed the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2019-2022 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), also referred to as the 2019 STIP. The 2019 STIP includes $21.4 billion ($11.8 billion for Highway/Bridge and $9.6 billion for Transit) in federal, state, local and private resources over the four-year period for capital improvements. The STIP consists of a list of prioritized projects/project phases identified for funding by federal fiscal year. The 2019 STIP includes Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs) as adopted by each Planning Partner as well as the centrally managed Interstate Management (IM) TIP and the Statewide (STWD) Items TIP. The term Planning Partners refers to Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and Rural Planning Organizations (RPOs) involved in the planning and programming process. The 2019 STIP submission includes air quality conformity determinations, public comment information and other supporting documentation. In addition to the STIP funding for capital improvements, PennDOT’s budget provides dedicated and sustainable revenues for the operation and maintenance for Transportation System. Appendix 1 shows a Transportation Program Funding Summary from the Governor’s Executive Budget 2018-2019 as well as the Sources & Uses of funds to support PennDOT’s programs. The 2019 STIP was developed utilizing Pennsylvania’s comprehensive planning and programming process. The collaborative process emphases openness, participation and partnerships. The General and Procedural and Financial Guidance documents for the 2019 Program update were developed in a cooperative manner. PennDOT, FHWA and all Planning Partners involved in the development of the 2019 Program concurred with the guidance prior to final issuance. The 2019 STIP submission includes Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs) and program supporting documentation as adopted by each Planning Partner. Key aspects in the development of the STIP were: • Final Financial Guidance and General and Procedural Guidance for the 2019 program development were issued on August 1, 2017 after PennDOT and the Planning Partners reached consensus. • The State Transportation Commission (STC), PennDOT and Planning Partners coordinated on a public involvement process that featured an open comment period held from March 6 to April 19, 2017. This open comment period featured an online survey and webcast public meeting hosted by Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Leslie S. Richards on March 21, 2017. • Planning Partners, with input from PennDOT, the STC and transit providers produced draft TIPs for their regions and submitted them to PennDOT by December 29, 2017, for review and response. • The Secretary’s “Spike” funding recommendations were provided toward the front end of the program development process. This assisted the regions in their overall planning efforts for the 2019 Program update. 1 • Air quality analyses were undertaken in ozone and PM2.5 non-attainment areas and draft conformity determinations were completed. • Federal and state agencies utilized a revised interagency consultation process to review and comment on the draft conformity determinations. • Subsequently, the Planning Partners held public comment periods, addressed comments and adopted their respective TIP. • Planning Partner TIPs are incorporated directly into the STIP, without modification. • With the adoption of the Commonwealth’s Twelve Year Program (TYP) on August 16, 2018, the STC thereby endorsed the STIP (First Four Years of the TYP). • The STIP is a financially responsible and fiscally constrained program. It reflects an estimate of federal, state, local, and private funds expected to be available over the next four years. • The STIP is consistent with PennDOT’s statewide long range transportation plan (LRTP), statewide freight plan and Planning Partner LRTPs. • The Highway and Bridge portion of the STIP continues the Commonwealth’s asset management philosophy, provides funding to advance safety improvements, and continues to promote improvement in the condition and performance of Pennsylvania’s highway system. The capacity expansion and new facility projects are consistent with the statewide LRTP and Planning Partner LRTPs. • The STIP for Public Transit is based on the projects and line items included on the Planning Partner TIPs as developed in cooperation with transit agencies. • The STIP includes all statewide and regionally significant projects regardless of funding source. The following sections of this document summarize the funding in both the highway and transit

Both first-time travelers and returning natives discover and rediscover a diverse, neighborhood-based metropolis with a downtown that’s easy to navigate on one’s own or via public transit. Philly regularly receives raves in The New York Times, Bon Appétit, Travel + Leisure, USA Today and Condé Nast Traveler, yet doesn’t stand one bit for pretense. Here are the basics any visitor to Philadelphia should know: Well-Planned City: • Layout – Seventeenth-century city planner William Penn envisioned the grid of streets that comprise Philadelphia’s downtown, Center City. Perpendicular streets run north-south (they’re numbered) and east-west (many named for trees: Walnut, Locust, Spruce). What would be 1st Street is named Front Street. What would be 14th Street is Broad Street. Two rivers, the Schuylkill and the Delaware (dividing Pennsylvania from New Jersey), form the western and eastern boundaries of Center City; Vine Street and South Street form north-south boundaries. Today, Penn continues to give direction to the city. His statue atop City Hall points northeast. • Exceptions to the Layout – The 101-year-old, mile-long Benjamin Franklin Parkway cuts diagonally through Center City’s grid, from near City Hall, past the famous LOVE Park to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
