Public-Private Partnerships

PennDOT operates one of the most ambitious and comprehensive public-private partnership (P3) programs in the nation. The featured projects bring value to Pennsylvania by significantly reducing poor condition bridges, supporting motorist safety, enhancing mass transit and rail service, and in some cases, generating new revenue to support future investment.

The **Major Bridge program** is designed to bolster PennDOT's ongoing effort to address the state's growing backlog of major bridges on interstates and expressways.

**Partnership 81** will provide safety and mobility improvements along a 7.5-mile corridor of I-81 near Wilkes-Barre.

The **Compressed Natural Gas Fueling Stations (CNG)** project provides cleaner fuel to transit agencies and includes access for private sector fleets at select locations.

The **Rapid Bridge Replacement Project** is the largest bundled bridge project in Pennsylvania history, replacing 558 poor condition bridges.
