PenTrans Vision & Mission

A message from PenTrans Co-Chairs Bev Harper and Tom Spearing:

Dear Friend of PenTrans:

Will you join us in 2008 by renewing or establishing your membership in PenTrans?  The membership form is here.

The year 2007 marked a major advance in dedicated transportation funding for Pennsylvania . As PenTrans members, we are proud to have played an active, supportive role in achieving the victory embodied in the landmark Act 44 legislation from Harrisburg.

Much remains to be accomplished in 2008 and the years that follow. The current attacks on Act 44 exemplify the ongoing perils that PenTrans and the public must overcome. The good of the entire Commonwealth depends on comprehensive solutions that best serve the transportation needs ofall our regions and localities.

The economic and environmental well-being of our businesses and families continues to be threatened by a lack of public and political will to mobilize our resources against a host of challenges: air pollution, traffic congestion, the global warming crisis,dependence on foreign oil, as well as the race for clean, renewable energy and energy conservation technologies.  Transportation policy is at the heartof these challenges. The progress made in 2007 cannot allow us to become complacent in the face of our remaining objectives!

Our Forums, legislative outreach, newsletters and editorial comments will continue to encourage public and private stakeholders and their elected representatives to revitalize Pennsylvania transportation infrastructure.

We will persist in advancing integration of transportation modes with land use reforms that will provide the people of the Commonwealth with more livable, sustainable communities.

Now is the time to be a part of the solution by continuing to lend your support to PenTrans. If you or your organization are not members, now is the timeto jump on board - while we're on a roll!

Yours truly,

 
Beverly Harper and Tom Spearing
