Purpose of the Guidebook The purpose of this guidebook is to provide a high-level overview of the history and roles and responsibilities of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and Rural Planning Organizations (RPOs) in Pennsylvania. This information will allow transportation planning stakeholders at the state, regional, and local levels better understand the range of regional transportation planning activities for which MPOs and RPOs in Pennsylvania are responsible. This guidance document can serve to inform transportation planning stakeholders at all levels to support the consistent application of both federal and state transportation planning requirements. This guidebook includes an overview of the history and summarizes the state and federal legislative directives for transportation planning organizations. A summary discussion of the role of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is included to illustrate the authority of the state and federal governments to direct transportation planning functions. The Guidebook addresses financial and programmatic obligations for PennDOT, as well as MPOs and RPOs. It is not an exhaustive list of all federal and state requirements for transportation planning; rather, it provides a summary of responsibilities and required activities, it identifies noteworthy practices, and provides individual profiles for each MPO, RPO, and Wayne County. B. History of Transportation Planning Transportation planning efforts undertaken by MPOs and RPOs must align with federal and state regulations. The PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK following legislative timeline provides a summary of the requirements that authorize transportation planning and particular planning efforts that are to be undertaken by the MPOs and RPOs in Pennsylvania. transportation planning legislative timeline 1994 1970 Act 120 Amendment 2013 Act 120 Amendment 2007 Act 89 1997 Act 44 Act 3 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 PENNSYLVANIA MILESTONES NATIONAL MILESTONES 1958 1995 2005

  • Section 6. the Transportation Plan
    2035 Transportation and Development Plan for Southwestern Pennsylvania June 2007 Section 6. The Transportation Plan Like the areas it covers, the needs and opportunities identified in the 2035 Plan are diverse – economic development projects, highways and bridges, transit facilities and operations, and related infrastructure - and must be implemented by an equally diverse collection of public and private agencies. Responsibility for providing funding varies according to the investment type and is shared among multiple taxing authorities and private funding mechanisms. Depending upon the type of infrastructure need, the financial plan for the 2035 Plan identifies the potential funding sources and expectations for funding that are currently known to be available. Where the funding does not adequately address identified needs, the financial plan discusses how the region might achieve the desired funding commitments and identifying possible funding sources. Transportation Financial Plan For public investment in transportation, the 2035 Plan includes a transportation financial plan, which is required by federal and state agencies before public monies can be spent on maintaining and operating the transportation system or making system improvements. Federal funding is under the authority of SAFETEA-LU, the most recent federal transportation legislation, and must follow a prescribed set of rules overseen by the FHWA and FTA. PennDOT and SPC are the agencies responsible for managing the flow of federal transportation funding into the Southwestern Pennsylvania region. State monies are under the authority of the state legislature and are based on multiple state laws supervised and implemented through the State Transportation Commission, PennDOT and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC). Every two years, as part of the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) update process, PennDOT issues official Transportation Program Financial guidance.

  • Chapter Four
    CHAPTER FOUR EXISTING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM INVENTORY WITH NEEDS ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS This Chapter of the WATS Long Range Transportation Plan provides a description of the existing multi-modal transportation system in Lycoming County encompassing highways and bridges, public transportation, airports, railroads and bike / pedestrian facilities. There are no waterway or inland ports located in the County. An inventory of current transportation assets by transportation mode will be provided, including a current physical condition and operational performance needs assessment. This data driven inventory and assessment is important to properly address transportation asset management needs and to improve operational performance of the overall system in terms of public safety, security, efficiency and cost effective movement of people and goods. HIGHWAY SYSTEM Highway Designations / Classification System According to the PennDOT Bureau of Planning and Research, there are 1,995.18 linear miles of publicly owned roadways throughout Lycoming County. PennDOT owns 716.59 linear miles, (35%) of public roadways in Lycoming County. In addition, there are 1,258.86 miles, (63%) of locally-owned roadways owned by 52 different local municipalities included on the PennDOT Liquid Fuels System. Other agencies own the remainder of roads in the County. Lycoming County government only owns two roads which are County Farm Road at the Lysock View county complex housing the Department of Public Safety (911 center), Pre- Release and county farm and an entrance road to the White Deer Recreation Complex. There are federal designations and classifications established for highway systems in the nation as noted in the following sections. Road Functional Classification System The Federal Highway Administration, PennDOT and Metropolitan & Rural Planning Organizations cooperatively establish and update maps that delineate various road classifications which group roadways into a hierarchy based on the type of highway service provided.
