(Pittsburgh, PA) The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC) recently announced the approval of the 2027–2030 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) in Pittsburgh effective October 1st, 2026. This document was approved unanimously by SPC members at yesterday’s meeting and it will direct $4.7 billion in infrastructure investment across the 10-county region. The 2027-2030 TIP continues the implementation of the goals, strategies and vision that are identified in SPC’s Long Range Plan. This plan invests $2.0 billion in highways and bridges and $2.7 billion in public transit between 2027 and 2030 to address infrastructure condition, safety, and congestion across the region. It also continues the proactive asset preservation of the SPC so the organization can prioritize investment in infrastructure rather than waiting for deterioration to demand costlier intervention.
