Transformative Transportation in the Philadelphia Region

Please join fellow planners in the Southeast Section of the APAPA at our 2016 Annual Event!  For this year’s event, we are inviting you to attend a lively discussion about several Transformative Transportation projects in the Philadelphia region, such as Amtrak’s 30th Street Station District Plan, the NEC Future Rail Investment Plan, SEPTA’s plans for King of Prussia Rail and Broad Street Line Extension, enhanced bus service on Roosevelt Boulevard, SEPTA’s analysis of upgrading its trolley system, Philadelphia’s Indego bike share system, and Montgomery County’s Ridge Pike Improvement Project.

Our panel of industry leaders include:

• Ms. Jennifer Barr, AICP, Senior Long Range Planner at SEPTA

• Mr. Matthew Edmond, AICP, Transportation Section Chief  at Montgomery County Planning Commission

We will also honor the 2016 John E. Pickett Scholarship Winners. Our scholarship committee has been working hard to review work by the brightest planning graduate students in Greater Philadelphia and will present $2,000 in scholarship funds to the top three projects. The event will include a brief description of the projects and the award ceremony for the authoring scholars.
