Application..............................................................................................................232 PPTA Membership Directory 6 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.

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.

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.
