Summary

The Pennsylvania Infrastructure Bank (PIB) is a PennDOT program that provides low-interest loans to help fund transportation projects within the Commonwealth. The goal of the PIB is to leverage state and federal funds, accelerate priority transportation projects, spur economic development and assist local governments with their transportation needs.

The maximum term of a PIB loan is 10 years. The PIB can fund up to 100% of the project. The interest rate is set at 1/2 half of the prime federal lending rate when a complete application is received by PennDOT. That federal rate is 7.0% now meaning the PIB interest is 3.5%. Emergency projects usually qualify for 0% interest loans; just submit the necessary PEMA/FEMA paperwork. Decisions are made on a case by case basis.

Borrowers may include cities, boroughs, townships, counties, school districts, authorities, commissions, economic development agencies, public use airports, railroads, private for-profit and not-for-profit corporations, and any other entity constructing an eligible project.

Summary

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) established the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) discretionary program with $5 billion in appropriated funds over 5 years, 2022-2026. The SS4A program funds regional, local, and Tribal initiatives through grants to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries.

The program supports the development of a comprehensive safety action plan (Action Plan) that identifies the most significant roadway safety concerns in a community and the implementation of projects and strategies to address roadway safety issues. SS4A requires an eligible Action Plan be in place before applying to implement projects and strategies.

Common Eligible Projects

Planning and Demonstration Grants provide Federal funds to develop, complete, or supplement a comprehensive safety action plan. The goal of an Action Plan is to develop a holistic, well-defined strategy to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries in a locality, Tribe, or region. Planning and Demonstration Grants also fund supplemental planning and/or demonstration activities that inform the development of a new or existing Action Plan. The Department encourages including demonstration activities in an application.

Implementation Grants provide Federal funds to implement projects and strategies identified in an Action Plan to address a roadway safety problem. Projects and strategies can be infrastructure, behavioral, and/or operational activities. Implementation Grants may also include demonstration activities, supplemental planning, and project-level planning, design, and development. Applicants must have an eligible Action Plan to apply for Implementation Grants. The Department encourages including demonstration activities in an application.

Summary

The Pennsylvania Strategic Investments to Enhance Sites Program (PA SITES) was established to provide grant and loan funding to eligible applicants to develop competitive sites for businesses to relocate or expand within the Commonwealth.

Common Eligible Projects

The funding for the program includes two components that support the development of competitive sites within the Commonwealth:

1. Planning Grants - The Planning Grants component provides grants to conduct a plan or feasibility study for a prospective site that may include the best future use of the parcel(s) for best economic growth opportunities for redevelopment or new development.

2. Construction Grants and Loans - The Construction Grants and Loans component provides grants and loans to serve as gap financing for strategic sites that need financial assistance to help reduce development risk for businesses. The grant and loan funding is intended to help finance strategic investments that will enhance sites across the Commonwealth to effectively compete for expanding and relocating businesses. The program will help reduce development risk for businesses by timeline reduction from the development of public infrastructure or reducing unknown development costs.
