​Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) reminded property owners that they must obtain a Highway Occupancy Permit (HOP) from PennDOT if planning property improvements that include constructing or altering a driveway that connects to a state highway.

HOPs for driveways are required by Section 420 of Title 36, also known as the State Highway Law. PennDOT urges property owners without one of these permits to obtain one to legitimize their driveway and retain it as evidence of compliance with the law.

Property owners may submit permit applications online or by using a paper application. Visit www.PennDOT.pa.gov, select “Highway Occupancy Permits” from the “Permits” page under “Doing Business” to access PennDOT’s Electronic Permitting System (ePermitting) and submit an online application. Printable versions of PennDOT Form M-950A or M-945A are accessible from the “Permits” page under “HOP-Related Forms.”

This year’s SR EXPO & SR CENTER COUNTY WIDE GET-TOGETHER held yesterday in the Coudersport Arboretum was a HUGE SUCCESS!!!

This annual event is sponsored by the Coudersport Arboretum Association and in collaboration with Potter County Human Services Area Agency on Aging.

Many thanks to all of the vendors who set up, the Arboretum Committee Members, My Works for all their help, Donnie Hoffman, John Stilson & Rickie Ordway from Playing It Forward, Potter County AAA & Senior Centers and all the attendees!!

ATA provided transportation for some of the SR Center participants.

Special thanks to Rep. Martin Causer and Senator Cris Dush for sponsoring the morning refreshments and free hot dog lunch for everyone. Although they were not able to attend, due to working hard on the state’s budget to continue to bring programs and services to benefit us, their offices had tables set up with valuable information.

Also, we are very grateful for all of the door prizes and gift certificates donated by businesses, organizations and the vendors.

What a great community event!!

Pictures will be posted soon on the Coudersport Arboretum Association and Potter County Senior Centers Facebook pages!
