Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT)

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) oversees programs and policies related to the Commonwealth's vast highway and transportation system. PennDOT is directly responsible for maintaining many of Pennsylvania's highways and bridges while also supporting local transportation networks. PennDOT provided funding for the Authority's Matthew Drive Extension project at the Fayette County Business Park and the development of the Fayette Area Coordinated Transportation (FACT) Transit Facility.

Pennsylvania Community Transportation Initiative (PCTI) – In 2008 PennDOT established PCTI as a smart transportation initiative to improve communities by linking transportation investments to local land use planning and decision making. PCTI funds planning and construction projects that demonstrate creative and efficient ways of addressing various transportation challenges through strong local partnerships and with careful consideration of community goals. In Fayette County, the Redevelopment Authority received $1.92 million in PCTI funding to support the Ohiopyle Borough Smart Transportation Initiative Project.
