PennDOT reports TIP administrative additions, including weigh‑station sensors and paratransit funding
Summary
PennDOT staff told the Erie County MPO TAC that an administrative action will add the MPMS 1246 weigh‑station sensors construction phase ($522,961 in state funds); staff also noted informational action adding HVIP funds for a high‑friction treatment and a request to add federal 5310 and state 341 transit funds to an EMCA paratransit bus project.
Julia Cornell of PennDOT’s central office briefed the MPO TAC on administrative edits to the 2025–2028 Transportation Improvement Program and related transit fund requests.
Cornell said administrative action No. 8 adds the construction phase for MPMS 1246, the weigh‑station sensors project, with $522,961 in state funds added to the FY2026 construction phase. She also flagged an informational administrative action that adds set‑aside HVIP funding, including HRRR funding, to MPMS 85443 for a high‑friction surface treatment; that item was presented for information only by the statewide section and did not require a vote. Finally, she reported a request from the PennDOT Bureau of Public Transit to add federal 5310 funds and state 341 transit funds to a paratransit buses project for EMCA in federal FY2026; she provided a TIP‑200 report showing the projects after the funding additions.
Those administrative items were presented to inform the TAC and are being incorporated into TIP tracking documents; no formal objection to the changes was recorded in the meeting transcript.
