Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    ​Research and Testing

    Whether it involves materials used on Pennsylvania roadways every day or a new product that could be used, PennDOT is actively involved in reviewing current and new products. These resources ensure the private sector and those managing our transportation system follow federal and state requirements for quality and performance.

    The department also has staff who work exclusively in Research and Implementation​, partnering with universities, government partners at all levels, and others to bring improvements to our transportation system.
