Planning

The Public Comment Period for the Draft 2023 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is now closed. Thank you for your participation and your feedback.

The 2023 STIP includes Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs) as adopted by each Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Rural Planning Organization (RPO) as well as the TIP for Wayne County, the centrally managed Interstate Management (IM) and the Statewide Initiatives (STWD) TIPs.

The Draft 2023 STIP makes up the first four years of the 12-Year Program (TYP), Pennsylvania’s mid-range planning tool. The TYP lists planned projects and associated funding for the next 12 years. State Law requires PennDOT to prepare an update to Pennsylvania's TYP every two years and submit for approval to the State Transportation Commission (STC). The Draft 2023 STIP will be adopted as part of the 2023 TYP update by the STC during the August 17, 2022, STC business meeting.

After the adoption of the 2023 TYP, PennDOT will submit the Draft 2023 STIP to the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration, and the US Environmental Protection Agency for for their review and approval.
