This planning process is designed to encourage maximum local participation in transportation project selection. The Northwest Commission’s Transportation Advisory Committee, a public/private sector entity with members from all five counties, reviews and prioritizes projects. Recommendations are forwarded to PennDOT and the State Transportation Commission.

During the past several years, the Northwest Commission, in conjunction with its Advisory Committee, has participated in a goods movement study, congestion and intermodal management system analysis and transportation enhancement project selection. The Commission firmly believes that an improved transportation system is integral to overall economic development.
