The PPTA Story Formed in 1997, by the merger of the Pennsylvania Association of Municipal Transportation Authorities and the Pennsylvania Association for Community Transportation, the Pennsylvania Public Transportation Association builds upon 37 years of collective history and sets the standard for the transportation industry. A professional trade association which provides leadership, resources, support and technical assistance, PPTA is a unified voice serving to advocate and strengthen the role of public transportation in improving the quality of life for all Pennsylvania citizens. PPTA's affiliations with the Pennsylvania Transportation Resource and Information Network (PennTRAIN) and our collaborative relationships with the Keystone Transit Career Ladder Partnership, the American Public Transit Association, the Community Transportation Association of America, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and local and state agencies enhance membership services. PPTA is unique in that nearly every Pennsylvania transportation provider is a member. While many states have two state associations, PPTA is the ONLY transit association in Pennsylvania. Comprised of organizations interested in public and community transportation, members represent all facets of the industry. Shared-ride programs, Medical Assistance transportation programs, providers of coordinated transportation, urban systems, rural providers and the multi-modal systems of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia are represented. A rich cross-section of industry suppliers, consultants and government agencies interested in progressive public transportation policies are PPTA’s valued associate members. PPTA members benefit from the exchange of information and technology, take advantage of training and technical assistance opportunities, participate in the process and development of public policy, and engage in a forum to promote public transportation’s commitment to service throughout the Commonwealth. Through conferences, seminars, roadeos, legislative and regulatory initiatives and informative communications, each member of PPTA is enhanced and sets a standard of achievement in the transportation industry.

PPTA Mission The mission of PPTA is to be the foremost advocate for public transportation and mobility management in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and to be of support to all association members in achieving their defined missions.

PPTA Objectives

• To develop and maintain communication with Federal, State and Local governments in order to foster and promote an awareness and support of public transportation and the mobility of citizens throughout the Commonwealth;

• To build public understanding and support for public transportation by promoting the value of public

transportation and mobility services at every opportunity; • To advocate investment in public transportation services, equipment and infrastructure; • To provide a forum for members and other key stakeholders to interact, exchange information and ideas, and

to continuously improve mobility services; and • To promote equitable and fair representation of all members and to provide responsive member service.

Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (TCRPC)

Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (TCRPC) 112 Market Street, 7th Floor, Harrisburg, PA 17101 Tel: (717) 234-2639 / Fax: (717) 234-4058 Email: [email protected] / Website: www.tcrpc-pa.org James Szymborski, AICP, Executive Director / [email protected] SSTTAAFFFF -- Tim Reardon, AICP, Associate Director / [email protected] SSEERRVVIICCEESS -- The idea of "regional planning" is not new to the Capital Region. The evolution of regional planning began over forty years ago in 1956 with the formation of the "Regional Planning Commission of Greater Harrisburg". Organized under the leadership of Nolan F. Ziegler, then Mayor of Harrisburg, the regional planning commission comprised various representatives from the City and surrounding townships and boroughs in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. At the time, the Regional Planning Commission of Greater Harrisburg was a cooperative organization, which coordinated planning services and activities where mutual problems, issues and concerns overlapped municipal boundaries.

To accomplish its mission in its early years the Regional Planning Commission of Greater Harrisburg prepared several significant studies and policy documents beginning with a statistical report entitled Forces of Past and Future Development (1958). Model ordinances guidelines and recommendations were also prepared entitle entitled Land Subdivision Regulations (1958) and A Guide for Zoning (1958). Following these reports, the Commission developed a formal inter-municipal land use plan in its planning area entitled Master Plan (1960).

The Commission also prepared another important study entitled People, Place, Price (1963), which was a supplement to the commission's first plan. This policy report examined past population statistics and recent 1960 Census data and projected the population for the planning area and Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) of Cumberland and Dauphin counties.

The report reexamined land use data and outlined "how to" guidelines for developers and residents on securing zoning permits, variances, processing subdivisions and land development plans, housing codes, non-compliance notices and demolished structure notices, lateral permits, sewage disposal, electrical equipment installation and fire prevention code compliance.

Similar to other regional planning agencies around the country, the Regional Planning Commission of Greater Harrisburg's local planning orientation would make a significant shift in the early 1960's. Following the enactment of four pieces of federal legislation which included (1) the Housing and Urban Development Act, (2) the Public Works and Economic Development Act, (3) the Appalachian Regional Development Act, and (4) the Water Resources Planning Act. These laws and their related programs helped to establish a system of regional planning agencies across the country which would fill gaps between existing levels of government, facilitate the work of federal, state, and local government and guide implementation.

In conjunction with these laws and the Federal Highway Act, the Regional Planning Commission of Greater Harrisburg expanded its planning area and scope in 1965 to include all the communities in Cumberland and Dauphin Counties. A primary reason for this realignment was to meet the Municipal Planning Organization (MPO) requirements of the Federal Highway Administration for consideration of highway transportation related funds.

In 1966, Perry County was added to create the three county arrangements, which is present today. The alignment also remained consistent with the established Standard metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) of the time. Along with a name change to the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission, a total of 104 municipalities and the three member counties became part of the regional planning program.

Delta Services Group (Delta) is a transit consulting firm in Newtown PA, a suburb of Philadelphia. Delta recently acquired the operations of TransTec Transport and Technology Consulting, Inc., a German owned subsidiary of a European consulting company of the same name. TransTec, which was originally founded in 1986 to market the technical knowledge of üstra, the transit agency of Hannover, Germany, began operations in Chicago and moved to Pennsylvania in 1999. Much of the expertise at üstra was based on research and development projects carried out in Germany in the early to mid-1980s. The TransTec practice was centered on bringing this experience from Europe to the US. Although TransTec made a strategic decision to focus on growth in Europe, Delta currently maintains a close relationship with our European colleagues through their international business consortium, Light Rail Transit Consulting (LRTC). This group of four powerful EU consulting and design firms works around the globe on transit and light rail consulting. As a newly independent and wholly owned US firm, Delta and its partners bring a unique combination of strengths to each project. Our team members offer direct US based transit management experience, with the ability to call on our colleagues in Europe when needed. Our diverse transit management experience, along with an international perspective, equips our staff with a broad array of successful transit management solutions and technologies operating in North America and Europe. This is a highly unique ability for a moderately sized firm and enables us to offer our customers the diverse perspective of a large firm with the flexibility and economy of a small firm.

SSEERRVVIICCEESS

Specialty Manufacturing Co., a division of The Ellison Company, Inc., first began operations over 40 years ago. To meet the need of low floor bus manufacturers and operators, Specialty introduced the fully automatic DCV, Driver Controlled Ventilator, the first hatch of its kind in the U.S. market. The DCV opens and closes with a driver-side push-button, making hatch operation in low floor buses easy and safe. In 2002, Specialty introduced the ProLo for commercial/transit buses. The commercial ProLo is designed to fit nearly flush with the commercial bus roof, creating a cleaner roof profile and solving hatch protrusion problems faced by many bus manufacturers, owners and operators. Specialty Manufacturing entered the transit coach interior lighting market in late 2001 when it joined with U.K.-based Invertec to form Invertec North America. The company will supply the U.S. and Canadian transit market with competitive and innovative interior lighting products and solutions, interior paneling, and ductwork design. Specialty expanded its product offerings again in 2003 with the addition of Rubber Solutions North America. This school bus and transit vehicle rubber flooring supplies a full color line of ribbed and smooth flooring along with step treads, nosing, and wear plates. As an innovative competitor, RSNA sells a superior product with a high slip coefficient of friction to help reduce the incidents of slips and falls.

Specialty Manufacturing Company is dedicated to being the best supplier in each of the

markets we serve. We will accomplish this through innovative product design and unsurpassed Customer Service. Our success is dependent upon Specialty’s ability to

exceed our Customers’ expectations with our products and service, and to be the company against which others are measured.

Our Mission Statement: To be recognized as the leader in Bus Safety Technology

designing, fabricating, marketing and servicing products for continued safety improvements.
