The Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) lists statewide planned projects and assigns funding over a four-year period. It includes the 24 regional Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs) and two statewide-managed TIPs (Interstate Management Program TIP and Statewide Initiatives TIP).
The 2025 STIP was available for public review and comment from June 18 through July 3, 2024. Additionally, while there are no areas in Pennsylvania under the jurisdiction of Indian Tribal governments, PennDOT considers federally recognized Tribes to be interested parties. Accordingly, PennDOT coordinated with representatives of 15 federally recognized Tribes that have interests in Pennsylvania to provide opportunities for review and comment on the draft 2025 STIP during the comment period. At the end of the comment period, PennDOT had received a total of 317 comments for review and consideration. PennDOT then submitted the draft 2025 STIP to the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration, and the US Environmental Protection Agency for a 45-day review and approval period on August 14, 2024. The 2025 STIP submission included air quality conformity determinations, public comment information, and other supporting documentation. The draft 2025 STIP received federal approval and went into effect on September 27, 2024.
The 2025 STIP includes $29.7 billion ($16.4 billion for Highway/Bridge and $12.5 billion for Transit) in federal, state, local, and private resources over the four-year period for capital improvements. The STIP consists of a list of prioritized projects/project phases identified for funding by federal fiscal year. The 2025 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 and the centrally managed Interstate Management (IM) and the Statewide Items (STWD) TIPs.
