U.S. Congressman Jim Gerlach
(R – 6th District)
U.S. Congressmen Joe Sestak (D –
7th District) and Jim Gerlach (R – 6th
District) participated in a special forum
on May 24 about traffic congestion,
public transit, alternative fuels and
funding for transportation projects in the
region.
The forum, hosted by the Transportation
Management Association of Chester
County (TMACC), was held at the
Sheraton Great Valley Hotel in Frazer.
Tom Tillett, District Chief of Staff for
U.S. Congressman Joe Pitts (R – 16th
District), also participated.
Congressman Sestak, who won the
Democratic nomination for Senate a
week prior to the TMACC forum, said
transportation issues were raised during
the campaign. He is concerned about the
impact of tolling on small businesses.
Sestak said he did not support the
state’s proposal to toll I-80 to generate
Congressman Gerlach, who won his
Republican primary in his re-election
bid the previous week, said funding
transportation will be daunting due to
the nation’s rising deficit and insolvency
of the Highway Trust Fund, which
provides funding for transportation. A
decline in driving and an increase in
fuel-efficient vehicles have resulted in
lower gas tax revenues for the Highway
Trust Fund. Emergency transfers from
the federal government’s general fund
have been needed to keep the Highway
Trust Fund solvent.
Gerlach said there have been many
proposals to solve the transportation
funding crisis, such as the Vehicle
Miles Tax, i.e. charging motorists
for each mile driven. He said that
proposal is controversial, but a new
transportation authorization bill may not
be forthcoming and innovative ideas are
being considered.
Tillett, Congressman Pitt’s District
Chief of Staff, explained that the
country’s limited discretionary funds for
programs not related to national defense
or homeland security does not leave

much for transportation. Tillett did not
endorse any particular funding solution,
but supported the continued evaluation
of all ideas.

Show Me the Money!
By Michael Herron
TMACC Executive Director
With the recent decision by the Federal Government to
reject Pennsylvania’s application to toll Interstate 80 along
the northern corridor of the Commonwealth, transportation
has suffered another setback in its goal for solvency. It
seems that no matter the politician, reigning Governor, nor
creative strategist, no one can solve this lifelong financial nightmare. My career
in transportation has been marked by outstretched hands begging Harrisburg for
the most meager of handouts. And I suspect with the few years I have left before
retirement, this pattern will not change.
Thirty years ago, I joined SEPTA as the Authority’s marketing director . . .you
know the person responsible for spending hard earned fare box revenue to
advertise bus and rail routes. No, I didn’t drive the bus, collect the fares, nor
manage the operations. I just spent money! In retrospect, it’s a wonder I even had
a job much less dollars to print brochures and produce radio commercials. And to
make matters worse in the 80’s there was little if any dedicated funding for public
transit. Sure the City of Philadelphia and surrounding counties had to pay some
subsidies to keep the routes moving, but it was a minimalist approach.
So I’m well versed in begging . . . sorry I mean lobbying. And unfortunately,
in this business you become pessimistic. A few years ago, the Pennsylvania
Public Transit Association (PPTA) worked especially hard to find a solution to
public transit’s financial dilemma. Under the direction of PPTA’s Executive
Director Marti Pierce, the Association’s member transit agencies and PennDOT
Deputy Secretary Toby Fauver, we universally believed a workable solution had
been found. Don’t increase the gas taxes, real estate transfer taxes, nor sell the
Pennsylvania Turnpike. Just toll I-80!
The legislature and governor agreed and passed Act 44 which called for tolling.
While Act 44 was a bipartisan effort, it rapidly came unraveled when the federal
government rejected Pennsylvania’s application for I-80 tolling, once again placing
transportation funding back to square one. As one member of the Pennsylvania
House recently said just throw every possible solution up against the wall and
maybe something will stick. What’s the definition of insanity? You know “keep
doing the same thing over and over again and think the result is going to be
different.”
Pennsylvania recently held its primary election in which two gubernatorial and
two U.S. Senate candidates were selected. Now, the shift is moving toward new
political leadership. Gov. Rendell and his administration are in the twilight of their
Harrisburg tenures. There is no question that Rendell has worked extremely hard
to secure funding for transportation, but his impact is rapidly dwindling. It’s time
for the new gubernatorial candidates Tom Corbett and Dan Onorato and senatorial
candidates Pat Toomey and Joe Sestak to publicly position themselves on this
subject and offer their recommendations to solve the crisis. Highways, bridges and
public transportation affect the livelihood and well being of every Pennsylvanian.
Failure is not acceptable. After all I’d like to retire with transportation funding on
the upswing.

Open Letter to Gov. Edward G. Rendell
about the Transportation Crisis, Part II
legislation that will provide hundreds of billions of dollars for
the nation’s highways and public transit agencies, it should
also include a provision that would encourage states to toll
interstate highways. Dear Gov. Rendell:
It was only two years ago that you outlined a doom and
gloom scenario for the Commonwealth’s transportation
infrastructure and public transit agencies due to a funding
crisis. The future of our roads, bridges and transit seemed
dire.
Many Americans say they want to reduce government
spending. You’ve seen the Tea Party rallies. Government
spending can be reduced if we pay for what we use. Can you
sense the irony here? You, a staunch Democrat endorsing a
Republican ideal, user fees, in this case tolls. Theoretically,
the more money the states raise, the less the feds have to
spend. Isn’t this a win-win?
PennDOT identified the number of structurally-deficient
bridges in the state and warned the legislature to act or risk
a catastrophic accident, similar to the collapse of I-35W
Mississippi River bridge in Minneapolis in Aug. 2007.
Thankfully, the legislature responded to your message and
passed Act 44 in 2007 and planned to raise revenue by tolling
I-80. In retrospect, it may not have been wise to count on
revenue from tolls that were not yet approved by the federal
government. When the Democrats won the White House,
tolling I-80 seemed like a sure thing. Oops.
Commuters and critics of federal deficit spending will
object to paying tolls for previously free highway travel.
Municipalities will complain that tolls would divert traffic
to local roads. Businesses will gripe that tolls will hurt the
local economy. Great leaders make difficult and, sometime,
unpopular decisions. Governor, be that leader!
No one anticipated that the federal Department of
Transportation under President Obama would interpret the
law differently. That was truly a blind side worthy of an
Oscar. Now we’re back to the drawing board.
People will adjust just like they did when gas prices spiked
in 2008. Some will continue to drive, grumble and pay the
tolls; others will use public transit – which is another benefit
tolls could produce. There would be increased ridership, less
traffic congestion, less carbon emissions.
I loved your stirring speech before the joint session of the
House and Senate on May 4, but wasn’t it eerily similar to
one you made two years ago? Well, it worked once before,
but you know much has changed since 2007.
Anyway, if tolls were such a detriment to the commuting
public, why hasn’t New Jersey removed the tolls on the
Atlantic City Expressway and the Garden State Parkway?
Have those tolls hurt Jersey Shore tourism and economy?
It could be argued that Snooki did more harm to the Jersey
Shore than tolls.
Let’s see:
• There was a near meltdown of our economy;
• The unemployment rate spiked at 9 percent;
• Tax revenues are way down and casinos have not helped
much;
• Leasing the PA Turnpike, unpopular then, still unpopular;
• State budget deficits continue to grow and grow and
grow. There’s talk again about raising the gas tax, driver license
and registration fees. Transportation-oriented public private
partnerships, an oil company franchise tax hike, local sales
and realty transfer taxes are all back on the table.
Governor, you’ll need to help Congress see the light on the
tolling issue. Invite Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger along to
D.C. for a bipartisan gubernatorial fight for the right to toll
interstates. California is in terrible financial shape and could
use the dough. And, you know that the financial reckoning
for the Keystone State is coming soon.
Pennsylvania, like most states, has a revenue problem.
Indiscriminately cutting programs will hurt and anger citizens
and will not provide enough funds for transportation.
Tolls are one of the solutions.
Governor, these proposals may provide the state with a
short-term solution to the transportation funding crisis, but
you know a comprehensive, long-term solution must be
developed to address the state’s rising transportation costs and
shrinking revenue. Will tolls be a tough sell to constituents? Yes, but you’re an
Eagles fan, you’re used to people complaining.
On the bright side, in a few months, this will be someone
else’s problem.
Tolls must be part the solution. The federal government
must enable states to generate revenue for transportation
projects by allowing states to toll interstate highways.
When Congress begins developing the new transportation
Sincerely,
Derrick Stokes

Bus Fare Reduced to Help Employees in Malvern
TMACC will reduce fares on the Beeline bus this month to
$1 to encourage Chester County residents to find and retain
jobs in Malvern.
The $2 base fare of the Beeline will be temporary reduced
to $1 and any additional zone charges will be waved from
June 17 to Sept 3. The Beeline, which began operations on
in 2007, provides service during peak commuting periods
from the Coatesville, Downingtown and Exton areas to
Malvern and the Great Valley Corporate Center, Monday
through Friday.
The fare reduction coincides with the grand openings of a
new Wegmans supermarket and Target retail store in the
Uptown Worthington complex in Malvern. Nearly 500 full
and part-time positions will be created when the stores open in July. Many prospective employees will be attending local
job fairs, interviewing for available positions at both stores.
“We have been working with the Pennsylvania CareerLink and the managers of the Wegmans and Target stores to educate
and inform them of accessible public transit from western Chester County communities to Malvern,” said TMACC
Marketing Director Derrick Stokes. “By lowering the fares, we are hoping that these new employees will discover the
Beeline’s reliable and affordable service.”
More importantly, Stokes added, the Beeline will able to reduce some congestion along Route 202 and the Route 30 Bypass
by offering employees an alternative to driving.
“The highways to Malvern and the Great Valley Corporate Center are very congested today,” he said. “If every Wegmans
and Target employee drives to work, commuting to the area could become unbearable.”
Stokes said reconstruction and widening of a 5.3 mile stretch of Route 202 between Route 252 to the Route 30 interchange
in Tredyffrin and East Whiteland townships are scheduled to begin in 2011.
Presently, the Beeline provides service to the Pfizer Malvern campus, which is adjacent to the Uptown Worthington
complex. Pfizer will transfer most of its employees to its Collegeville facility by the end of June. At that time, the Beeline
will cease service to Pfizer and begin service to Uptown Worthington on July 1.

TMACC PROVIDING FREE BUS RIDES TO ENCOURAGE
DRIVERS TO “DUMP THE PUMP”
communities west of Coatesville to
Parkesburg. The SCCOOT serves
communities from West Chester
to Kennett Square to Oxford. The
Beeline serves communities from
Coatesville to Downingtown to Great
Valley.
TMACC will provide free service
on its three bus routes on June 17 to
celebrate the fifth annual National
Dump the Pump Day. National Dump the Pump Day,
which will be observed on Thursday,
June 17, is dedicated to raising awareness that riding
public transportation helps improve the environment and
conserves fuel. Riding public transit is the quickest way
to beat high gas prices. According to the American Public
Transit Association (APTA), a two car household that
downsizes to one car can save – on the average – more than
$9,000 a year. The average household spends 18 cents of
every dollar on transportation, and 94 percent of this goes
to buying, maintaining, and operating cars, the largest
expenditure after housing.
“Commuting is becoming too expensive and frustrating for
many Chester County residents,” said Michael E. Herron,
TMACC Executive Director. “We are hoping that residents
who have become too dependent on their automobiles will
take advantage of the free service and learn more about
their commuting options.”
Herron doesn’t expect commuters to immediately sell their
vehicles and take transit every day. Changing commuting
behaviors is not going to happen overnight.
To celebrate National Dump the Pump Day, service on
the Coatesville Link, the SCCOOT and Beeline buses will
be free for the entire day. The Coatesville Link serves
“If we can convince some motorists to leave their cars
in their driveways at least once a week, that would be
significant,” Herron said.
Ticket to Ride
SEPTA. The Coatesville Link serves the Coatesville,
South Coatesville and Parkesburg areas, with evening
service between Coatesville, Thorndale, Downingtown
and Exton. The SCCOOT route serves southern Chester
County, including Oxford, West Grove, Avondale, Kennett
Square and West Chester. The Beeline provides services
from Coastesville and Downingtown to the Great Valley
Corporate Center.
TMACC has created a special program with several nonprofit agencies to distribute discount bus passes and tickets
to low-income residents who depend on public transit.
An impressive social service network of county agencies
and non-profits can provide assistance for food and clothing
for many needy families. Unfortunately, in their efforts
to become self-sufficient, these needy families struggle to
cover the cost to commute to work, job interviews and job
training.
These routes are essential to Chester County residents,
especially those who do not have access to personal
automobiles. The buses provide invaluable access to jobs
and to the county’s social service safety net, including
Pennsylvania CareerLink for job training and job
placement. The buses provide access to basic needs, such
as food and retail stores and local hospitals and health care
centers. TMACC seeks corporate partners to purchase discount
tickets and passes and distribute them to a local non-profit
organization with Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3) taxexempt status. Donations to 501(c)(3) organizations are tax
deductible.
The discount tickets and passes can be used to travel on
TMACC buses within Chester County.
These buses affect people, their communities, their local
businesses and their quality of life.

Earth Day Event
TMACC USES SOCIAL
NETWORKING SITES TO KEEP
COMMUTERS CONNECTED
TMACC is now using social networking websites Facebook
and Twitter to keep Chester County commuters informed of
regional transportation issues.
TMACC hosted a special forum to provide helpful tips to
conserve energy and save money.
The purpose of the event, which was held at Penn State
Great Valley on April 20, was to provide easy and costeffective solutions to reducing energy consumption and
carbon emissions at home, work and during the daily
commute. TMACC uses the social networking sites to disseminate
transportation news and public transit scheduling
information directly to the computers and wireless smart
phones of commuters who register to become “friends” or
“followers.”
The event was held in recognition of Earth Day, a day
designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the
Earth’s environment held on April 22, said Michael E.
Herron, TMACC Executive Director.
“TMACC realizes that social media sites such as Facebook
and Twitter are quickly becoming today’s leading provider
of information to the general public,” says TMACC’s
Marketing Director Derrick Stokes. “Through these sites,
we will provide Chester County commuters with real-time
transportation information that will ensure a smoother
commute.”
“Because we are advocates for alternative modes of
transportation who are trying to reduce the congestion
on our highways, we believe it is important to show
commuters the cost of their commute – in dollars and in
carbon emissions,” Herron said. “You don’t have to be an
ardent environmentalist to want to learn how to implement
cost-saving measures to reduce your carbon footprint.”
Facebook and Twitter are similar free social networking
websites that have garnered world-wide popularity in
the past two years. Facebook allows users to join online
communities of people with shared interests and exchange
ideas. Twitter differs in that users only send ‘tweets,’ or textbased posts, of up to 140 characters which are delivered to
the users ‘followers,’ or friends. Both social networking
sites are interactive.
The panelists who participated in the forum were:
• Marla Thalheimer, LEED Accredited Professional
(AP), Sustainability Manager, Liberty Property Trust;
• Erik Johanson, Strategy and Sustainability Planner,
SEPTA;
• Bob Hittelman, Marketing and Account Manager,
VPSI Inc.
Stokes said TMACC will also use these interactive
networking sites to serve as a forum for commuters to
discuss their commuting challenges. He added that the
social media sites will provide commuters with a platform
to promote their ideas to improve public transit and local
highways.
Thalheimer provided a common-sense approach to
reducing one’s carbon footprint at home, at work and the
commute in between. She said transportation is responsible
for the bulk of carbon emissions. Taking public transit
or carpooling twice a week would significantly reduce a
person’s carbon footprint. “Since they are the end users, we want commuters to
become engaged in the process of improving transportation,”
he said.
Johanson said SEPTA will be adding nearly 500 hybrid
buses to its fleet. The new bus technology will cut energy
costs and reduce pollution. To follow TMACC on Facebook and Twitter, click the links
at the bottom of the TMACC website, tmacc.org. A commuter must become a Facebook ‘fan’ or ‘follow’
TMACC on Twitter to receive transportation news and to
participate in discussions about local transportation issues.

Hittelman promoted vanpools as a transportation option
for employees who are commuting from the same area. Ridesharing programs may provide some relief from
congestions concerns and the overall cost of commuting.
