1 2 INTRODUCTION

Purpose

This document, Pennsylvania Planning Partner Profiles, showcases Pennsylvania’s 22 Planning Partners and one independent county. Its purpose is to inform the public of their roles in the transportation planning process, provide contact information, and show demographic and transportation related data for each identified area.

Background

Transportation is a key element in the economic health and growth in any region. It provides for the safe movement of people and goods and influences patterns of economic growth and development by providing mobility and access. Transportation planning recognizes the critical links between transportation and policy concerns such as air quality, environmental stewardship, social equity, and land use. Pennsylvania’s Planning Partners play a key role by collaborating with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) to advance and support the Commonwealth’s transportation system.

History

In 1903, the State Highway Department was created. The Department was developed to cooperate with the Commonwealth’s political subdivisions in the improvement and maintenance of highways. Its primary responsibility was to administer state grants to local communities and to serve as a disbursing agency. The Department had general supervisory powers over all roads financed with state funds coupled with exclusive authority and jurisdiction over state highways. Legislation passed in 1911 that reorganized the Highway Department, provided for a system of highways to be maintained solely by the state, and for a highway network financed on both the state and local level. In 1970, the State Highway Department was abolished and its powers and duties were given to the Department of Transportation.

3 PLANNING PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS

Federal Legislation

The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962 created the federal requirement for urban transportation planning in response to the construction of the Interstate Highway System and the planning of routes through and around urban areas. The Act required, as a condition attached to federal transportation financial assistance, that transportation projects in urbanized areas of 50,000 or more in population be based on a continuing, comprehensive urban transportation planning process undertaken cooperatively by the states and local governments -- the birth of the so-called 3C, “continuing, comprehensive and cooperative” planning process. More specific requirements were added to the planning process during the 1970s, largely due to experience and research in the interim. The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1973 required the creation of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) in all major metropolitan (urban) areas.

MPO boundaries are defined as an urbanized area by the U.S. Census Bureau. Federal regulations state the MPO’s boundary may encompass the metropolitan statistical area. The MPOs in Pennsylvania have incorporated the metropolitan statistical area, which are identified by a county or multiple counties. In several cases, the urbanized area of an MPO extends into an adjacent county or state. Here, the MPO has agreements with the adjacent state/county/MPO/RPO for transportation planning and programming responsibilities. An example would be the Harrisburg MPO, where a portion of its boundary extends into York County. The York Area MPO encompasses the remaining portion of York County.

Most of Pennsylvania’s rural areas are organized into Rural Planning Organizations (RPOs). Although RPOs are not required by the federal government (but recognized by the Federal Highway Administration and designated by PennDOT), the 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) required states to establish a transportation planning process to serve areas outside of urbanized boundaries. Since 1992, Pennsylvania has partnered with its RPOs to conduct rural planning activities, providing RPOs with the same status as MPOs. Franklin County is the only county in Pennsylvania which does not currently participate in the planning process through the organized structure of a planning partner. However, Franklin County is taking steps to become a Pennsylvania RPO.

Federal law and regulations establish five core functions of an MPO/RPO that include the following:

1) Establish a setting: Establish and manage a fair and impartial setting for effective regional decision-making in the planning area. 2) Identify and evaluate alternative transportation improvement options: Use data and planning methods to generate and evaluate alternatives. Planning studies and evaluations are included in the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). 3) Prepare and maintain a Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP): Develop and update an LRTP for the planning area covering a planning horizon of at least 20 years that fosters: (1) Mobility and access for people and goods, (2) Efficient system performance and preservation, and (3) Good quality of life. 4) Develop a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP): Develop a short-range (four-year) program of transportation improvements based on the LRTP. The TIP should be designed to achieve the area’s goals using spending, regulating, operating, management, and financial tools. 5) Involve the public: Continually involve the general public and other affected constituencies in the areas listed above.

4 PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

Long-Range Transportation Plan

Federal law requires all states to create a Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The process for development is at the discretion of each state. The Pennsylvania Mobility Plan, formerly known as PennPlan MOVES!, is Pennsylvania’s official LRTP. This plan embodies a 25 year comprehensive planning methodology that involves all modes of transportation. The Mobility Plan links the transportation planning done at the regional and local levels to statewide goals.

These goals are: 1) Move people and goods safely and securely. 2) Improve quality of life by linking transportation, land use, economic development and environmental stewardship. 3) Develop and sustain quality transportation infrastructure. 4) Provide mobility for people, goods, and commerce. 5) Maximize the benefit of transportation investment.

MPO/RPO long-range transportation planning is required by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) as a prerequisite for federal funding. The MPO/RPO LRTP planning process allows citizens, planners, government officials, and other stakeholders to come together to discuss the MPO’s/RPO’s future, identify regional trends, and set goals for what the region hopes to achieve within a 20 year horizon. Every four years the plan must be updated in MPO/RPO air quality non-attainment and maintenance areas (areas that do not meet federal air quality standards) and at least every five years for MPOs/RPOs in air quality attainment areas.

Twelve Year Program

Pennsylvania’s official transportation program is known as the Twelve Year Program (TYP). This Program is used to guide the planning and decision-making process toward the future objectives of the LRTP. The TYP is a dynamic schedule of priority projects that are fiscally constrained and conform to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The Program is separated into three four-year program periods.

Transportation Improvement Program

The first four years of the Program is referenced as the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), which coincides with the federally required Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The TIP lists highway, bridge, transit, rail freight, and aviation projects that intend to use federal and/or state matching funds excluding specified maintenance funds. Each MPO/RPO is responsible for developing a TIP. When developing the TIP, the public must be involved. Public involvement activities are specified in each MPO’s/RPO’s adopted Public Participation Plan (PPP). This plan provides the public with an active role in the development of transportation plans, programs, and projects beginning in the early stages of plan development and continuing throughout the planning process. As needs and priorities change, the TIP may be modified or amended. The State Transportation Commission (STC) reviews and approves the TYP every two years. The STC is comprised of 15 members, with the Secretary of Transportation as the chair. When finalized, the STC adopts the program, which is then forwarded to the Governor, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for their approval prior to the start of the federal fiscal year.

5 MODES OF TRANSPORTATION

The LRTP focuses on all major modes of transportation including highways and bridges, aviation, rail, transit, and bike/pedestrian. Transportation projects that focus on improving safety, enhancing mobility, moving goods and preserving the existing system are key to achieving the Department’s goals and objectives.

Highways and Bridges

Pennsylvania’s highways and bridges are the backbone of our transportation system carrying the greatest volumes of freight and passenger movement. Having over 39,000 linear miles of state-owned roads, PennDOT works to ensure its roadways operate at a safe condition. With over 25,000 state-owned bridges, Pennsylvania has the third largest number of bridges in the nation. Pennsylvania uses national standards for its bridge inspection program to regularly inspect bridges at least once every two years. Over the past four years, the Commonwealth has made significant investments in bridges. In 2007, PennDOT invested over $700 million on more than 650 state and local bridge projects, over $550 million in improvements, and $119 million in bridge preservation. Of that $700 million, over $401 million was devoted to rehabilitating and replacing structurally deficient bridges. This level of investment is expected to increase in the coming years in an effort to reduce the number of structurally deficient bridges.

Aviation

Pennsylvania’s 134 public-use airports provide a major contribution to the Commonwealth’s growing economy. Since 1994, the economic value of aviation in the Commonwealth has grown to more than $12 billion. Today’s total economic impact includes expenditures by hundreds of on-airport businesses and millions of visitors using aviation-related services such as hotels and restaurants. In the local economy, more than 288,700 jobs with an annual payroll greater than $5 billion are attributed to the aviation industry in Pennsylvania.

Transportation planning is critical to the Bureau of Aviation’s role to preserve and protect airports within the Commonwealth. The Bureau of Aviation utilizes federal planning guidelines to develop and implement the PA Statewide Aviation System Plan (SASP). Because Pennsylvania is an aviation block grant state, the Bureau of Aviation acts on behalf of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for program and planning management at general aviation airports essential to the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS).

Effective transportation planning is also important to the health of the aviation system in the area of airport hazard zoning and compatible land use. While land use is a local responsibility, the Bureau of Aviation provides guidance on implementing Act 164 – Airport Zoning Act, to both airports and those municipalities impacted by their operations. Municipalities are also encouraged to consider the adoption of land use ordinances compatible with the airports in their community.

Rail Freight

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has an extensive system of freight railroads with more than 5,000 miles of rail lines in active service. Pennsylvania is served by all three major eastern railroad systems: Norfolk Southern Railway (NS), CSX Transportation (CSX), and Canadian Pacific Railway (CP). The Commonwealth’s rail lines have the highest volume in the nation with NS leading the way connecting Philadelphia, Harrisburg, and Pittsburgh. Having access to these rail systems helps keep Pennsylvania businesses competitive in the national and global marketplace.

Pennsylvania is also served by 70 short line and regional railroads, which is more than any other state. These railroads vary in size from short lines, operating on a few miles of track within a single county, to regional systems serving as many as 12 counties. These short line and regional railroads are a very important part of Pennsylvania’s transportation network because they give a competitive edge for the Commonwealth’s businesses by providing access to industrial properties. It should be noted that the tables shown in this document illustrate key rail operators and do not necessarily reflect the total rail mileage in each planning region.

The Federal Railroad Revitalization and Regulation Act of 1976 (4R Act) requires all states to prepare and periodically update their State Rail Plan to participate in the Federal Freight Rail Program. This plan uses rail movements to identify trends that are critical in making solid recommendations for improvements on our rail systems and other modes of transportation.

Mandates in Pennsylvania’s Rail Freight Preservation and Improvement Act of 1984 also require the Bureau of Rail Freight to undertake a comprehensive study of rail freight activities in the Commonwealth. This study addressed specific needs, challenges, and methods that can influence the development and use of its rail freight system in a manner which best serves the interest of Pennsylvania’s citizens. In 2003, the Bureau updated the Comprehensive Rail Freight Study and State Rail Plan and concluded that the Commonwealth’s rail program is a valuable resource which should be maintained and further developed.

7 Public Transportation

Public Transit service is a major mode of transportation and is available in all 67 counties of the Commonwealth. Increased use of public transportation is an effective strategy for saving energy and taking care of the environment by reducing air pollution. Public transportation is an essential piece of the puzzle to the success of a thriving economy and improved quality of life. Public transportation includes Fixed Route service, Intercity Bus service, Community Transportation (Shared-Ride) service, and Keystone Corridor commuter rail service.

Fixed Route and Community Transportation (Shared-Ride) services are two key components of Public Transit. Fixed Route service operates in all major urbanized areas of the Commonwealth as well as several non-urban communities. Community Transportation service addresses the needs of senior citizens, low income residents and persons with disabilities. Community Transportation services are provided by public transportation authorities, human services agencies, county government, and private taxi operators in all counties.

On behalf of the Commonwealth, Amtrak operates commuter rail service on the Keystone Corridor between Harrisburg and Philadelphia. The Commonwealth’s investment in the corridor has resulted in dramatic increases in ridership.

The Intercity Bus services in Pennsylvania provide opportunities for residents to travel within and outside the state of Pennsylvania. This service is provided by six private operators across the Commonwealth.

Bike/Ped

There is also a growing need and responsibility to provide expanded bicycle and pedestrian options for the citizens of the Commonwealth. Pennsylvania’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan serves as an element of the state’s LRTP. It provides an implementation strategy detailing the measures Pennsylvania should adopt in an effort to create conditions which are conducive to bicycle and pedestrian corridors. This Master Plan creates a series of policy, design goals and objectives that can be used as a guide to create a better bicycling and walking environment.

8 Pennsylvania Ports

As the global marketplace presents new challenges, Pennsylvania responds with dynamic solutions to delivering products and services around the world. From Philadelphia's state-of-the-art terminals, to Pittsburgh's sprawling port district, to Erie's diversity, Pennsylvania's ports are gateways to the world. Each of Pennsylvania's diverse ports offers unique opportunities for shippers and manufacturers.

The Port of Philadelphia is strategically located at the center of the Northeast corridor, the country's largest and richest marketplace. The port is directly accessible to more major cities by rail and truck than any other port in the country, ensuring deliveries are timely and cost-effective.

Over 3,000 ships load and offload at the Port of Philadelphia each year making it one of the busiest ports on the Atlantic coast. The Port of Philadelphia handles more than one-quarter of the entire North Atlantic District's annual tonnage, and is the fourth largest port in the U.S. for the handling of imported goods.

The Port of Pittsburgh directly reaches markets in 24 states. Pittsburgh sits at the northeastern end of the nation's 9,000-mile inland waterway system, which will help reach markets as far west as Sioux City, Iowa and as far south as New Orleans with access to the Gulf of Mexico and beyond.

The Port of Pittsburgh’s three major rivers (Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio) move more than 44 million tons of waterborne cargo each year, making it the second largest inland port in the U.S. With more than 200 river terminals, the Port of Pittsburgh is the origin of destination for more tons of raw materials than any other port in the world. Its three waterways are part of an intermodal network that also includes two major railroads and four interstate highways.

Midway between New York and Chicago, The Port of Erie is within a 300-mile radius of one-third of the population of the United States, making it easy to reach major markets including Detroit, New York, Chicago, Washington D.C. and parts of Canada. Pennsylvania's only Great Lakes port is served by ocean-going freighters via the St. Lawrence Seaway. Erie International Airport is the fastest growing in Pennsylvania and rail freight services are provided by Norfolk Southern, the Allegheny Eastern Railroad, and CSX.

The Port of Erie's strength lies in its diversity. It is home to a small but active, cost-effective and efficient stevedore in Mountford Terminals: project cargo (General Electric Transportation Systems locomotives, i.e.), break-bulk cargo and some bulk cargo. Erie Sand and Gravel, a subsidiary of Oglebay Norton, is also very active in shipping aggregates for the construction industry and salt to municipalities for winter traffic safety.

9 NHS Intermodal Connectors

One essential component of the modes of transportation is the National Highway System (NHS) intermodal connectors. The NHS intermodal connectors are critical to a region’s transportation network. NHS intermodal connectors are the “last-mile” that freight moves on the highway system. They are public roads that connect major intermodal terminals to the NHS network.

NHS intermodal connectors serve three major types of facilities: rail yards, seaports, and airports. The growth of freight nationally is expected to double by the year 2020, which means the amount of goods flowing through these facilities is likely to increase steadily in the coming years.

The basic criterion for an NHS intermodal connector is that the facility (or facilities) it is serving must have an average of 100 trucks entering and exiting the facility per day. (Note: the term and concept “intermodal connector” also applies to passenger transportation facilities)

NHS intermodal freight connectors handle large volumes of trucks making them integral to the movement of goods in the country. Connectors in poor condition can lead to slow freight movement, damaged goods, decreased efficiency, and safety concerns. The trucks using connectors carry all types of shipments and commodities, high and low value, containerized and bulk shipments. Almost anything that is transported, from the food in the grocery store to the clothes at department stores travels on a intermodal connector at some point in time. With the anticipated growth in the freight industry, it is important that intermodal connectors are able to handle the additional freight traffic.

The Department of Defense (DOD) is also a big user of NHS intermodal connectors. The military is becoming increasingly dependent on the nation’s transportation system using commercial trains, highways, seaports, and airports to transport supplies. For the health of our nation’s economy including our nation’s defense, the NHS intermodal connectors must be able to handle movements from seaports, rail yards, and airports in a fast and safe manner.

10 TRANSPORTATION FOR A NEW PENNSYLVANIA

In August of 2003, Secretary of Transportation Allen Biehler, P.E. and the PennDOT Executive Staff presented the Department’s goals to support Governor Edward Rendell’s “Plan for a New Pennsylvania”.

These goals are: • Transportation System Preservation • Economic Stimulus • Highway and Bridge Project Delivery • Management and Productivity

In February of 2008, Governor Rendell proposed additional funds for Pennsylvania’s infrastructure in his Budget Address. These funds will be used to rebuild and repair bridges and improve aviation and rail freight facilities. PennDOT is committed to supporting the Governor and working with each Planning Partner to implement the Governor’s objectives to provide for the future transportation needs of Pennsylvania’s citizens.
