How SPC Makes a Difference
Our organization is steadfastly committed to keeping our region connected and moving forward. We work with local, state and federal partners to plan for the continued growth of Southwestern Pennsylvania.
As part of that work, we help counties, cities, municipalities and townships access over an estimated $39 billion in state and federal transportation and economic development funding that has been allocated to the region through 2045.
Together, we are enhancing our region’s competitiveness in the national and global markets.
