HARRISBURG, December 23, 2025 − State Rep. Joseph McAndrew and state Sen. Jay Costa today announced $3 million in state funding to support the Municipality of Penn Hills with its public works planned transportation improvements.
The funding comes from the state Transportation Department’s Multimodal Transportation Fund and is earmarked for Penn Hills’ street paving and reconstruction program and sidewalk improvements.
“This funding helps our everyday residents,” said McAndrew, D-Allegheny. “While traditionally these roads are the responsibility of the municipality to maintain, this funding helps offset that burden and works to prevent the need to raise property taxes on a municipal level for this budgetary need.”
“I am pleased and honored to be announcing these grant dollars with Representative Joe McAndrew,” said Costa, D-Allegheny. “This funding will ensure that everyone who uses the roads is safe on their journey, from our drivers to our public transit riders to our pedestrians. I’m so grateful this funding is moving ahead.”
The Multimodal Transportation Fund provides grant funding to municipalities, councils of governments, businesses, economic development organizations, public transportation agencies, and ports and rail freight entities to improve transportation assets and enhance communities. The projects support the safety and accessibility of Pennsylvania’s infrastructure.
Applications for the next round of MTF grants will open on Jan. 5 and will be due by Feb. 13, with awards being announced in the summer. More information about the program and funded projects is available at the PennDOT website.
