The Adams County Transportation Planning Organization (ACTPO) in partnership with
PennDOT and local municipalities, has launched an online survey to gather public comment as
it advances its work on a study of the PA 94 corridor. The study area includes State Route 94
between Dicks Dam Road and Hanover Street. It also includes a portion of US Route 30
between Lincoln Street and Stanley Drive.
ACTPO initiated the traffic and transportation study in response to concerns expressed by
officials from Berwick, Hamilton, and Oxford Townships, citing safety concerns and potential
impacts of future development. The study will establish a framework for improving traffic
operations and safety for all modes as well as addressing land use and economic development
impacts. An action plan will include recommendations that may include further planning efforts
at the regional and local level, coordination with stakeholders, and operational or physical
improvements.
Area residents and travelers are invited to take the online survey, which is available here. The survey allows participants to describe their experiences traveling through study area, offer feedback on potential transportation solutions, and identify areas of
concern through an interactive map. The survey and interactive map will be active through May
13.
“Hearing directly from the public on their transportation concerns along PA 94 will give us a
clear understanding of areas along the corridor in need of further evaluation or improvement,”
said Andrew Merkel, Assistant Director at the Adams County Office of Planning and
Development. “The feedback we gather from the survey will inform the next phases of the study
process. By working together to define these areas of need, we can begin defining short- and
long-term strategies that the community is supportive of that will ultimately enhance safety and
mobility for all who use the corridor.”
The study process is being guided by a steering committee consisting of representatives from
area municipalities as well as the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).
ACTPO officials anticipate having a final study report completed by June 2024.
