(Pittsburgh, PA) PennDOT recognized employees this month with Innovation Awards honoring projects aimed at improving efficiency and operations across the department.

According to PennDOT, two employees from District 11 — which includes Allegheny, Beaver and Lawrence Counties — were among the award recipients.

PennDOT said the annual awards program recognizes employee-developed ideas and practices intended to improve department operations, safety and services.
