STATE COLLEGE, Aug. 21 – A $78,000 grant from the Multimodal Transportation Fund will fund work to bring safer travel for Rush Township residents, state Rep. Scott Conklin, D-Centre, announced today.

“Frequent and more severe storms are challenging our communities’ stormwater management capacity and increasing the risk of flooding that can threaten motorists and impact our roads,” Conklin said. “Securing this new funding will allow Rush Township to move forward with needed stormwater management work and roadway improvements on Medical Center Drive so traffic flows as smoothly and safely as possible.”

The Multimodal Transportation Fund provides financial assistance to municipalities, government councils, businesses, economic development organizations, public transportation agencies and ports and rail freight entities. By improving transportation assets, the program seeks to enhance communities, pedestrian safety and transit revitalization.
