The Multimodal Transportation Fund supports projects that improve transportation infrastructure and foster economic growth across the commonwealth.
Projects receiving funding through the CFA’s PA Small Water and Sewer Program include:
- Bucks County Water & Sewer Authority (BCWSA) – Emergency Backup Generator at the Forest Glen Pump Station #2 – $178,500
- Northampton Township – Tanner Estates Basin Retrofit – $364,027

“I am committed to supporting the safety of our communities and am pleased we were able to secure the funding for these important projects that will create safer neighborhoods and improve the quality of life for our residents,” said Farry.
“These projects address specific needs in our communities by improving infrastructure and upgrading essential systems,” said Marcell. “I was glad to work with Sen. Farry to support these initiatives and help secure funding that will enhance safety and add to our quality of life across Bucks County.”
“I was happy to work with Sen. Farry on this. This project was a must, given that this bridge gives access to and from a development,” said Tomlinson. “These repairs will ensure that roughly 300 residents will be able to go to and from their homes.”
“By working together, Sen. Farry and I were able to secure these funds,” said Hogan. “These projects are going to save the local taxpayer and ratepayer money while improving our critical sewer and stormwater infrastructure for safer and healthier communities.”
These water infrastructure projects will improve stormwater management and sewer reliability, ensuring long-term sustainability for local communities.
