The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced the launch of a public comment period for the draft 2045 Long-Range Transportation Plan and Freight Movement Plan. Both are available for review through Oct. 19. The LRTP sets an overall strategic direction for Pennsylvania’s transportation system for 20 years and the FMP reviews current and future trends in freight transportation to improve multimodal freight movement for five years.

Both aim to improve mobility, safety, fairness, resilience and sustainability for moving people and goods throughout the commonwealth.

“For the past two years, PennDOT has been working closely with our fellow state agencies, local officials and our partners in the private sector to shape a vision for Pennsylvania’s transportation future that supports continuing economic growth and opportunity, connectivity, thriving communities, a cleaner environment and safe travel,” said PennDOT Secretary Yassmin Gramian. “We now need Pennsylvanians to join this conversation to help us make these plans even more responsive to future public needs.”

The public can review the drafts and provide comments at penndot.gov/planning and at public library locations throughout the state. Any questions or concerns can be sent to penndotplanning@pa.gov. Those without internet access may request printed copies by calling 717-705-1478.
