Transportation for the Region's Future
Continuing the Conversation:
Developing for Mobility and
Access
Guest Speakers (bios below)
Mike Della Rocca
President, Halcrow North America
Harriet Tregoning
Planning Director, Washington, DC
Jim Sherman
Director of Construction, Dranoff Properties
The forum will continue a process that will gather the region's best thinking
on how to address transportation issues. As we face a profoundly changing world
environment, three major stressors are affecting all of us:
Energy scarcity
Climate change
Economic storm warnings
In this
situation, we believe that addressing transportation problems hinges especially
on building unified, coherent public policy solutions at every level of
government.
We opened the
conversation at the PenTrans June 25th Forum. Insights came from the leadership
of SEPTA, DVRPC, the City of Philadelphia, PenTrans and others. At our upcoming
Forum we will ask,
How can we ensure that
communities offer sustainable mobility and access for the region's people?
How can
we design and redesign, adjust and retrofit in a way that gets people where they
want to go while enhancing their quality of life and economic well-being?
To help us move
toward answers PenTrans will expand our continuing conversation to include
developers and advocates of approaches such as transit oriented development and
public private partnership.
Stay tuned for details and for news of further
PenTrans forums that will reach out to other stakeholders for our continuing
conversation,
"Transportation and the
Region's
Future."
