Gov. Josh Shapiro announced yesterday that 50 transportation projects in 27 counties across Pennsylvania have been selected for $54 million in funding through the PennDOT Multimodal Transportation Fund. This program is intended to provide financial assistance to improve transportation assets that enhance communities, pedestrian safety, and transit revitalization. 

Townships received more than half of the awards and will benefit from several more. PennDOT evaluated the applications and made selections based on safety benefits, regional economic conditions, technical and financial feasibility, job creation, energy efficiency, and operational sustainability. Here are some of the winning projects:  

• Muddy Creek Township, Butler County: $468,928 to repair and resurface Hufnagel Road. 

• Lower Paxton Township, Dauphin County: $972,245 for safety improvements to Prince Street and Houcks Road.
