  • 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.

  • Southwest Pennsylvania Transit
    Southwest Pennsylvania Transit Port Authority Consolidation Study March 2015 To Interested Stakeholders: Pursuant to the requirements of Senate Bill 700 (SB 700) of 2013, enclosed are reports assessing the impacts of consolidating transit agencies in southwestern Pennsylvania and of the privatization of Port Authority of Allegheny County (PAAC) service. PennDOT identified and analyzed four consolidation scenarios ranging from one to three transit authorities taking the place of the 14 existing transit systems in the ten-county region. Based on those scenarios, estimated annual operating cost savings range from $3.4 million for three separate authorities to $7.2 million for one regional authority. With regard to privatization of PAAC service delivery, the report concludes that privatization is a tool which could potentially result in cost savings for PAAC. However, privatization is not a magic bullet. Rather it is one of many tools management could use to control growth in operating costs. Regardless of which tools are selected to help control costs, success will require strong leadership, local support, and significant time to overcome the historically high cost structure. Because public transportation in Pennsylvania is locally controlled and managed, PennDOT recommends that actions beyond these reports be determined locally. Local transit management and governing boards must review the study findings and move forward to find ways to reduce cost increases and keep long term legacy costs in check. The Commonwealth, as a major contributor to public transportation operating and capital costs, must work in partnership with local transit systems to maximize service to residents while recognizing that there must be local support and local leadership for any initiative to be successful.
