 Taking note of the popularity of social media platforms, Preservation Pennsylvania partnered with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) to create the Project for Pennsylvania Transportation and Heritage (ProjectPATH). This innovative partnership makes public participation in transportation planning more accessible while providing effective and timely public involvement in agency review of impacts to historic properties.
Launched in December 2010, ProjectPATH enhances Section 106 consultation by making the process more transparent through new technology and web tools.
ProjectPATH features an online website and searchable database that provides stakeholders real-time access to documents that support milestones in the Section 106 process. The program includes an online database of Section 106 review documents for active PennDOT projects, an online technical assistance help desk, and a comprehensive educational program designed to improve public understanding and participation in Section 106 review for transportation projects.
ProjectPATH can be accessed by visiting www.paprojectpath.org.
