(Pennsylvania) It is expected that peak period travel will increase in the post-Covid period, which will lead to more congestion and delay than experienced in 2021, but not to the pre-Covid level. Due to the uncertainty of future travel trends, the 2023 and 2025 PHED targets were set to 10.5 annual hours of delay per capita. This is the value that is roughly halfway between the 2021 actual value and the 2021 target from the 2018-2021 performance period.

(Pennsylvania) It is expected that the work from home share of work travel will decline in the post-COVID period, with corresponding increases in SOV travel and the other non-SOV modes. Due to the uncertainty of future commuting trends, the 2023 and 2025 Percent of Non-SOV targets were set to 27.0 percent. This value is higher than the 2021 target of 24.8 percent from the 2018-2021 performance period but anticipating a decline in work from home share, less than the 2021 actual value of 27.6 percent.
