As part of the ongoing comment period for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Planning and Environmental Linkages study exploring sustainable transportation funding options, a telephone town hall meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 25, at 6 p.m.
The telephone town hall will provide an opportunity to comment on the statewide PEL study, in addition to an active virtual public meeting, accessible online through June 1 at penndot.gov/funding. The public may pre-register for the telephone town hall, but it’s not required.
