West Chester, Pa (December 30, 2025) – West Goshen and West Bradford Townships were recently awarded state funding for infrastructure projects to improve stormwater management, build new culverts, install new trails, and make pedestrian-friendly improvements, state Senator Carolyn Comitta said.
The grant funding, which was recently awarded through the Multimodal Transportation Fund (MTF), is as follows:
- $126,827 for West Goshen Township to make storm sewer and pedestrian improvements on Montgomery Avenue.
- $113,920 for West Bradford Township to install naturalized trails, make ADA pedestrian improvements, and build new culverts on Broad Run Road.
“These investments will help address flooding, enhance safety, and improve pedestrian access on two of our region’s most well-traveled roads,” Comitta said. “As we continue to experience increased rainfall, flooding, and extreme weather, it’s important to invest in and build climate-resilient infrastructure, including the roads, bridges, and trails that make Chester County such a great place to call home.”
The Chester County investments are among 54 highway, bridge, bike, and pedestrian projects in 34 counties across Pennsylvania selected for more than $47 million in funding through the MTF.
“Infrastructure is essential to Pennsylvania’s growth and to connecting people with opportunity,” said Governor Josh Shapiro. “When we invest in safer roads, bridges, ports, and transit, we’re creating jobs, strengthening local economies, and making it easier for people to get where they need to go — whether that’s to work, school, or a small business on Main Street. These projects deliver real results for communities across the Commonwealth and keep Pennsylvania moving forward safely and efficiently, no matter how they get around.”
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 that enhance communities, pedestrian safety, and transit access.
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.
