How Much Will PennDOT Spend on the Lehigh Valley?

Interested in finding out how much PennDOT wants to spend in your town?

State transportation Secretary Barry Schoch has unveiled a new website that allows people to see how much the department plans to spend.

The Decade of Investment website shows projects that could be funded over the next 10 years through three scenarios: no additional funding, Gov. Tom Corbett’s proposed level of funding and Senate Bill 1’s funding-level proposal.

“I made a commitment to Pennsylvanians, and their elected officials, to create a map showing the benefits of additional transportation funding because Pennsylvanians have a right to see how their precious dollars are being invested,” Schoch said.

“This tool allows the public to see how the state, their region or local area of interest would benefit from the raised level of investment,” Schoch added.
