The 12-Year Transportation Program, which serves as a blueprint of prioritized transportation projects, is updated every two years through a cooperative effort among the STC, PennDOT and its 23 regional planning partners. The STC evaluates and assesses the resources needed to maintain and expand the state’s transportation system. The 15-member commission includes Schoch, 10 private citizens appointed by the governor, and the majority and minority chairs of the state Senate and House Transportation Committees.
