More Indego stations, new miles of trails and protected bike lanes are some local transit projects that got a funding boost on Tuesday.

State officials announced that 51 transportation projects across Pennsylvania were set to receive a total of $33 million in federal funds.

The grants fund projects that will improve travel for public transit users, bicyclists and pedestrians.

The Philadelphia-region projects getting funding are:

The grants are from the federal Transportation Alternatives Program, which provides funds for a broad range of non-motorist-centric projects.

"Supporting transportation alternatives in our communities is vital to a transportation system that works for all Pennsylvanians," PennDot Secretary Leslie Richards said in a statement.

PennDot said it evaluated projects for the grants on factors that included safety benefits, cost, readiness and significance.
