Pennsylvania’s public transportation is moving toward the future, in part with additional and critically needed resources provided by Act 89 of 2013, the far-reaching funding plan that put transit on a more solid footing. The Commonwealth is very fortunate to have a world class transportation system, which adds value to the lives of millions of Pennsylvanians every day. This report shows you how transportation operates throughout our state. Innovations in public transportation help seniors travel safely to the grocery store, allow individuals to book shared ride trips online, and cost effectively get hardworking Pennsylvanians to jobs that drive our economy. This year, the Annual Performance Report reflects the advancements that have taken place, including regionalization and the implementation of cutting-edge scheduling software, solutions that streamline transportation systems and save Pennsylvanians money, while continuing to offer a superior customer product.

The transportation network within the City of Washington and East Washington Borough therefore plays a pivotal role in the quality of life of its residents. A fully functional transportation network not only includes roadways, but public transportation and pedestrian access (known as complete streets). A multi‐modal transportation network is vital to the future of the region. Transportation requires coordination between pertinent parties to achieve the overall transportation goals of the City, Borough, and surrounding region. Transportation Questions to Consider: How can traffic flow be improved? How can congestion be minimized? What are the transit opportunities? How can the pedestrian network be improved? Expanded? COMMUNITY SNAPSHOT Road Network The road network for the City and Borough is displayed on Map 3.1: Road Network. The City of Washington and East Washington Borough are located in PennDOT District 12, which includes municipalities in Fayette, Greene, Washington, and Westmoreland Counties.
