The DVRPC Board has approved $1.2 million toward 13 projects in Southeastern Pennsylvania through the Transportation and Community Development Initiative (TCDI) program. TCDI grants support smart growth initiatives that implement the Connections 2050: Plan for Greater Philadelphia and improve the multimodal transportation network.
The DVRPC Board has approved over $7.5 million toward 22 projects in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The projects are funded through the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program, which funds projects that make biking and walking to school safer and more appealing; and the Travel Options Program (TOP), a program created by DVRPC, which funds projects that provide better access to more travel options across the region, such as walking, biking, and taking transit, with the goal of reducing the number of single occupancy vehicles.
Pennsylvania’s first automated vehicle (AV) shuttle is coming to Philadelphia this summer. The zero-emissions shuttle will provide visitors and employees with transportation services within the Philadelphia Navy Yard and to SEPTA’s NRG Station located at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue.
