Known to many as the Lincoln Highway, the U.S. Route 30 corridor is central Westmoreland County’s primary east-west highway. Its position as a transportation facility dates back to the French and Indian War and has played a nationally and regionally significant role in economic growth and westward expansion.

By leveraging key capital investments with intelligent transportation systems and sound land use practices, the U.S. Route 30 corridor in Westmoreland County will be a national example of a safe and efficient transportation corridor of economic opportunity.

Spearheading these actions is a coalition of business and municipal officials who work collaboratively with each other and with PennDOT to ensure that, the U.S. Route 30 of the future is characterized by:

1. A consistent approach to land use regulation that enhances economic activities, balancing the historic character and rural beauty of the highway while respecting individual property rights;
2. The use of the latest technology to intelligently move people and goods safely;
3. An appropriate mix of commercial, industrial, residential, agriculture, open space and other vital land uses that underlie a great quality of life;
4. A multi-modal approach, including transit, air, and rail freight to accommodate the movement of people and goods efficiently;
5. A network of parallel road systems that provides choices for local residents and for the convenient flow of through traffic, including the tourist traveler; and
6. Well-maintained surface, landscaping and traffic control systems that work together to enhance the motoring experience.
