As the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), we lead transportation planning for our 10 county region, which includes Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Westmoreland, and Washington counties.
The Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) outlines specific initiatives over the next 25 years for our region. The LRTP is implemented through shorter-term Transportation Improvement Programs called a TIP.
The 2025-2028 draft TIP contains over $4.5 billion in investment for transportation and infrastructure projects across our 10 county region.
Since we are responsible for drafting the TIP, we are also required to host public meetings and a 30 day public comment period in an effort to solicit feedback on it. Our public comment period started on Wednesday, May 8 and will last until Friday, June 7.
So far, we have hosted seven public meetings and those took place in Indiana, Beaver, Westmoreland, Armstrong, Allegheny, and Fayette counties, as well as one in the City of Pittsburgh. In the near future, we will host public meetings in Washington, Greene, Butler, and Lawrence counties. The remaining public meeting schedule is:
Washington County | May 22 at 3 P.M.
- Washington County Courthouse Square Building Rm 103, 100 West Beau St, Washington, PA, 15301
Greene County | May 29 at 5 P.M.
- PennDOT Engineering District 12-Greene County Maintenance Facility, 129 Jefferson Rd, Waynesburg, PA, 15370
Butler County | June 3 at 4:30 P.M.
-
Virtual Meeting (link available here)
Lawrence County | June 4 at 11:30 A.M.
- Neshannock Township Municipal Building, 3131 Mercer Rd, Neshannock, PA, 16105
At the public meetings, members of transportation team explain what the TIP is, how it supports the entire 10 county region, and detail transportation and infrastructure projects that will take place in the specific county we are in.
If you haven't been able to attend one of our public meetings, you can still make your voice heard! Whether you have comments, thoughts, suggestions, or questions about transportation projects in your community, please reach out to us. We will respond to every comment that we receive.
