The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) recently committed $452.7 million to municipalities to help maintain bridges and roads.
Funding will be provided through liquid fuels payments, which will be distributed under a formula based on a municipality’s population and miles of locally-owned roads.
PennDOT distributes funds annually to help with highway and bridge-related expenses such as road repaving and snow removal. The COVID-19 pandemic reduced gas tax revenues, and this year’s allocation is approximately 7 percent less than the 2020 allocation.
