Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today there will be traffic restrictions next week at the Centerville Road Interchange Improvement Project in East Hempfield Township, Lancaster County.
Weather permitting, on Monday, March 4, traffic will be shifted on northbound Centerville Road approaching the ramp to eastbound Route 30 so guiderail repairs can be made. This work will be performed from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Southbound Centerville Road traffic will not be impacted. However, flaggers will be on hand to assist truck traffic in making turns at the ramp. This could cause delays.
On Tuesday, March 5, a left lane restriction will be in place on eastbound Route 30 at the Centerville Road overpass so a median attenuator can be repaired. This work will be performed from 3:00 AM to 6:00 AM.
Motorists should be alert, drive with caution and watch for slow-moving traffic.
This work is part of the Centerville Road Interchange Improvement project, which consists of structure replacement, Superpave overlay, base replacement, roadway widening, milling, guiderail improvements, drainage improvements, pavement markings, ADA improvements, traffic signal improvements, and other miscellaneous construction.
The project includes work on Centerville Road from Cornerstone Drive to Marietta Avenue (Route 23), and Marietta Avenue from Centerville Road to Stony Battery Road. The project is primarily located in East Hempfield Township, though the section from Cornerstone Drive to Columbia Avenue is in Manor Township.
JD Eckman, Inc., of Atglen, PA is the prime contractor on this $36.3 million project. Work is expected to be completed by July 22, 2025.

Annville, PA – As the nation celebrates Women’s History Month in March, the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) reminds drivers that purchasing an Honoring Our Women Veterans License Plate both recognizes the importance of women who served and supports programs assisting the nearly 64,000 women veterans in Pennsylvania.

Each plate costs $40, with $15 going directly to the Pennsylvania Veterans’ Trust Fund (VTF). The VTF regularly issues grants to statewide charitable organizations assisting veterans service organizations and county directors of veterans affairs. The grants are used to aid veterans in need of shelter, essential goods and other services.

“Women veterans have played key roles in our nation’s military history since the Revolutionary War and they have earned every recognition for their service and sacrifices,” said Maj. Gen. Mark Schindler, Pennsylvania’s adjutant general and head of the DMVA. “Everyone who purchases one of these plates is sending an important message that Pennsylvania appreciates everything women veterans have done in defense of our nation.”

“PennDOT takes pride in acknowledging the accomplishments of women veterans through the offering of this special license plate,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “This plate, which is displayed on vehicles traveling throughout the commonwealth and beyond, serves as a constant reminder of the sacrifices made by women veterans in preserving our freedom.”

The Honoring Our Women Veterans license plate is available for passenger cars or trucks with a registered gross weight of not more than 14,000 pounds.

Additionally, Honoring Our Veterans license plates for passenger cars, trucks with a registered gross weight of not more than 14,000 pounds, and motorcycles are available for $41 each, with $15 from each plate also going to the VTF.

In addition to the sales of these license plates, there are a variety of programs designed to help fund the VTF in support of Pennsylvania’s more than 700,000 veterans. To learn more about how to purchase these plates and support the VTF, visit www.vtf.pa.gov

Submission period applies to PennDOT-owned projects and infrastructure

Harrisburg, PA – The PennDOT Office of Public-Private Partnerships (P3) announced today that it is accepting unsolicited proposals for transportation projects from the private sector through Nov. 10.

The submission period applies to PennDOT-owned projects and infrastructure. During this period, the private sector can submit proposals offering innovative ways to deliver transportation projects across a variety of modes including roads, bridges, rail, aviation, and ports. Proposals can also include more efficient models to manage existing transportation-related services and programs.

The private sector may also submit applications for non-PennDOT-owned assets directly to the P3 board during this time. Transportation entities outside of the governor’s jurisdiction, such as transit authorities, may establish their own timelines or accept proposals year-round. Unsolicited proposals are being accepted through 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 10. Instructions on how to submit a project and information on the unsolicited proposal review process can be found on the state’s P3 website.

The state’s P3 law allows PennDOT and other transportation authorities and commissions to partner with private companies to participate in delivering, maintaining, and financing transportation-related projects.

As part of the P3 law, the seven-member Public Private Transportation Partnership Board was appointed to examine and approve potential public-private transportation projects. If the board determines a state operation would be more cost-effectively administered by a private company, the company will be authorized to submit a proposal and enter into a contract to either completely or partially take over that operation for a defined period of time.

The next unsolicited proposal acceptance period will occur in April 2024.

Shapiro Administration Seeking PennDOT Team Members to Deliver for Pennsylvanians

Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) kicked off their 2023-2024 recruitment campaign with a billboard in Philadelphia off I-95 that reads: ‘Fixed this jawn. Join the team.’ With PennDOT teams continuing to work ahead of schedule to fully repair I-95, this new billboard serves as a call to potential applicants to join the team getting stuff done across the Commonwealth.

Governor Shapiro has made it clear that his Administration will cut through red tape and work as safely and efficiently as possible to get stuff done for Pennsylvanians. It is that same spirit that was demonstrated in the effort to successfully open I-95 in just 12 days, that PennDOT continues to build a team of expert engineers and work crews here in Pennsylvania. To continue to get stuff done, PennDOT is recruiting for team members statewide to help with 40,000 state-maintained roadway miles and 25,400 state-maintained bridges.

“Across Pennsylvania, the team at PennDOT is hard at work fixing our roads, highways and bridges – making it easier and safer for Pennsylvania drivers while creating good paying jobs. PennDOT workers drive our local economy and help Pennsylvanians get to where they need to go,” said Secretary of PennDOT Mike Carroll. “Under the leadership of Governor Shapiro, we have improved and repaired nearly 3,100 miles of state-owned roads and completed 161 bridge projects, supporting thousands of jobs across the Commonwealth. We look forward to adding more members to a team that is showing the nation what Pennsylvania is capable of.”

In addition to completing construction and maintenance activities, PennDOT deploys approximately 4,700 on-the-road workers and hires hundreds of temporary operators and additional support positions to keep roads as safe and passable as possible during the winter season.

As part of PennDOT’s statewide recruitment campaign the agency is seeking winter maintenance operators, diesel mechanics, automotive mechanics, transportation construction inspectors, and engineers as it demonstrates that there are multiple ways to grow a career at the agency. Team members will also collaborate with municipal and private-industry partners who help keep people moving and our economy thriving.

( NUZ DIRECTOR’S NOTE: This press release was sent May 2, 2023)

Pennsylvania State Police Master Trooper Josh Whiteside reports that on December 9, 2022 PennDOT Risk Management Office contacted the Pennsylvania State Police Vehicle Fraud Investigations Unit that Greeter Ashwin PARI kept driver’s license camera card forms that are mailed to customers in his personal bag along with photographs of customer marriage certificates. A review of video surveillance by PennDOT management showed that Ashwin PARI used his cellphone to take pictures of a customer’s private information, such as driver’s licenses, social security cards, birth certificates, marriage licenses, utility bills and other documents. Upon learning of Ashwin PARI’s actions, PennDOT suspended him pending further investigation.

A Driver License Center Greeter is a PennDOT employee that assists customers with document preparation, answering basic license application questions and other minor customer service tasks. Greeters do not have access to the license database and cannot alter, change, print or download driver’s license information.

On December 14, 2022 Ashwin Pari was interviewed by Vehicle Fraud Investigators at the Pennsylvania State Police Lancaster station. His cellular phone that contained customer information was also seized at that time. PARI admitted that he took pictures of PennDOT customers’ personal information so that he could later examine their social media accounts.

The investigation did not yield that he uses the customer information for anything other than examining social media accounts.

Ashwin PARI is no longer employed by PennDOT

After consulting with the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office, Ashwin PARI is charged with six counts of 75 Pa C.S. Vehicle Code § 6114 (a) (2) Limitation on Sale, Publication and Disclosure of Records, for unlawfully procuring PennDOT records. The charge is a Summary violation that carries a fine between $500-$1,000.
