Rep. Liz Hanbidge December 23, 2025
Today, state Rep. Liz Hanbidge, Rep. Steve Malagari, and Senator Maria Collett announced that Towamencin Township has been selected for $3 million in funding through the state’s Multimodal Transportation Fund.
Towamencin Township will receive $3 million for intersection improvements at Welsh Road and Orville Road. These investments will enhance safety, strengthen the local economy and improve mobility across the region.
“I am thrilled to announce the $3 million in state grant funding coming into our district to support essential road infrastructure improvements,” Hanbidge said. “These investments will help keep our neighbors safe here in our district.”
“This is great news for those who live in and travel through the area. This project will help to address traffic concerns, turning concerns and improve existing legacy infrastructure," said Malagari. "The end result will be an improved commute for residents and businesses.”
“I was proud to work alongside Representatives Hanbidge and Malagari to secure this transformative investment,” said Senator Collett. “I’ve heard directly from municipal partners and residents about safety concerns at this busy intersection, and I’m grateful this long-awaited improvement project can get off the ground.”
The Multimodal Transportation Fund provides grant funding to municipalities, councils of governments, businesses, economic development organizations, public transportation agencies, and ports and rail freight entities to improve transportation assets and enhance communities. The projects support the safety and accessibility of Pennsylvania’s infrastructure.
Applications for the next round of MTF grants will open at 8 a.m. Jan. 5, 2026, and will be due at 4 p.m. Feb. 13, 2026. Grant recipients are expected to be announced in summer 2026. More information about the program and funded projects is available at the PennDOT website.
