Pennsylvania Route 954 (PA 954) is a 35-mile-long (56 km) state highway located in Indiana County, Pennsylvania. The southern terminus is at PA 56 in Center Township. The northern terminus is at PA 210 in North Mahoning Township. PA 954 is a two-lane undivided road that serves Indiana, Creekside, Plumville, and Smicksburg. The route intersects U.S. Route 422 (US 422) and PA 286 in Indiana, PA 110 in Creekside, and PA 85/PA 210 in Plumville. PA 954 was designated in 1928 between Smicksburg and PA 210 in Trade City. The route was extended south to Denton by 1930 and US 422 and PA 80 (now PA 286) in Indiana during the 1930s. PA 954 was lengthened to its current terminus in 1971.
PA 954 begins at an intersection with PA 56 in Center Township, heading north on a two-lane undivided road. The route heads through forested areas, turning northwest and becoming the border between Center Township to the west and Brush Valley Township to the east. The road crosses the Yellow Creek into White Township and becomes South 6th Street Extended, passing near residential areas. PA 954 becomes South 6th Street and runs through agricultural areas before reaching an interchange with the US 422 freeway. Following this interchange, the route runs through a mix of farmland and woodland with some homes, crossing the Two Lick Creek and passing under a freeway carrying US 119 and PA 286 Truck. The road passes through more rural areas before entering residential areas, where it becomes the border between Indiana to the west and White Township to the east. PA 954 fully enters Indiana and runs past more homes, heading into the downtown area. Here, the route turns west to form a concurrency with PA 286 on Philadelphia Street, a three-lane road with a center left-turn lane, passing downtown businesses. PA 954 splits from PA 286 by heading north on two-lane undivided North 9th Street, while PA 286 turns south onto South 9th Street. The route heads through residential areas, crossing back into White Township.
