DVRPC’s Draft TIP for Pennsylvania represents the region's federally funded transportation improvement priorities and is required by federal law in order for the region to receive and spend federal transportation funds. It has been developed in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), Southeastern Transportation Authority (SEPTA), Pottstown Area Rapid Transit (PART) and DVRPC's member counties and cities. After consideration of public comments, the Draft TIP with any recommended changes will be presented to the DVRPC Board for adoption at the regularly scheduled Board meeting on July 23, 2026.

For example, DVRPC will highlight different projects and facts via social media posts. For those without internet access, draft documents are available at the DVRPC office in the American College of Physicians Building in downtown Philadelphia. The public is asked to call (215) 592-1800 to make this request. Hard copies of the Draft TIP documents are also available at certain public libraries across the region that are listed in Table 1: “Libraries Displaying the Draft DVRPC FFY 2027 TIP for Pennsylvania.” After the public comment period ends, DVRPC staff will gather responses to each public comment from the appropriate agency. Responses are only provided to comments submitted in writing during the public comment period.
