(The following is a release from the offices of state Sen. Maria Collett, State Rep. Steve Malagari, and State Rep. Melissa Cerrato.)
Senator Maria Collett, State Rep. Melissa Cerrato, and State Rep. Steve Malagari announced more than $2.875 million in CFA Multimodal Transportation Fund grants to restore aging infrastructure and improve traffic safety in their districts.
"Transportation infrastructure investments are key to maintaining safe, walkable communities,” Collett said. "I am proud to have secured this funding for improvement projects across my district that will enhance pedestrian safety, reduce traffic congestion, and boost our local economy.”
"After having the honor of recently breaking ground at what will be Hatfield’s new police facility, I now have the pleasure of announcing additional funding will be used to ensure its success,” Malagari said. "I want to thank the community leaders who advocated for this grant and made this all possible.”
Malagari said the $393,750 will be used for roadway and sidewalk improvements. The associated transportation improvements, including access upgrades and pedestrian enhancements, will also enhance accessibility to the Hatfield Township Nature Area located adjacent to the new police facility.
"Hatfield PD has been faithfully serving our township and borough for over 50 years,” Malagari said. "I’m happy to see them upgrade to a facility that can support their operations.”
Multimodal Transportation Fund grant recipients include:
"By investing in infrastructure improvements such as sidewalks, roadways, and pedestrian safety measures, we are not just enhancing the physical landscape of our communities, but also fostering safer and more accessible environments for all,” Cerrato said. "Grants like these exemplify my commitment to promoting pedestrian safety and enhancing the overall quality of life for residents and visitors alike."
The Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) Multimodal Transportation Fund awards grants for the development, rehabilitation, and enhancement of transportation assets to support economic development and ensure that a safe and reliable system of transportation is available to residents across the Commonwealth. Applications are accepted annually between March 1 and July 31.
