Rep. Scott Conklin December 23, 2025 | 2:39 PM
STATE COLLEGE, Dec. 23 – New funding of $255,500 is coming to the 77th Legislative District to support repairs to a heavily traveled Patton Township road, state Rep. Scott Conklin announced today.
Conklin, D-Centre, said the grant approved through the state Department of Transportation’s Multimodal Transportation Fund will support pavement rehabilitation of 0.16 miles of Vairo Boulevard. “The funding will allow the township to continue repairing road defects that have frustrated commuters along this busy route,” Conklin said. “I’m grateful to PennDOT and our local partners for helping to bring this funding home to get travel flowing more smoothly.”
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 on Jan. 5, 2026, at 8 a.m. and will be due by Feb. 13, 2026, at 4 p.m. Grant recipients are expected to be announced in summer 2026. More information about the program and funded projects is available at the PennDOT website.
