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.

SERVICES
SEPTA’s busses, subways, commuter rail, trolleys and paratransit service provide over one million trips
on an average weekday. SEPTA’s service area covers approximately 2,200 square miles and includes the
heavily populated southeastern Pennsylvania counties of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and
Philadelphia. Passengers are also transported to areas in Delaware and New Jersey. The majority of
SEPTA routes operate seven days a week and several offer 24-hour “Owl” service.
As an active partner with the communities we serve, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation
Authority (SEPTA) strives to meet changing mobility needs by paying close attention to market trends
and development demand. Starting with a solid foundation of multi-modal services, supported by a
diverse vehicle fleet, SEPTA seeks to enhance the quality of life in the region by delivering a product that
is relevant to current riders and attractive to those who are not regular public transit customers.

SERVICES
The Luzerne County Transportation Authority currently provides the Wilkes-Barre Ubanized area with
some of the best smaller-urban-area bus service in the state. A reasonably new bus fleet operates on routes
serving 37 municipalities within the urbanized area so that a majority of the population resides within onequarter of a mile of a bus route. Most of the routes run at a frequency of every half hour or better with
service between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Base fare is $1.25 and riders have an option of
purchasing a Twenty-Saver Ticket ($18) or a Fare-Deal Monthly Pass ($35).
The LCTA, in order to assist handicap persons in fulfilling their transportation needs and to meet
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, has made available the “Special
Transportation Efforts Program (STEP)” in the general area of the LCTA.

The Mid Mon Valley Transit Authority (MMVTA) is the public transportation doorway to the Middle
Monongahela River Valley. Not only will we take you almost anywhere in the Mon Valley; we also
provide direct service to Pittsburgh.
Currently, the MMVTA operates seven fixed routes and paratransit services. Local routes operate Monday
thru Friday and transport riders to shopping centers, employment areas, downtown shopping districts,
housing developments, university campuses, and apartment complexes.
The MMVTA’s Route A schedule was designed with the commuter in mind. Route A runs 365 days a year
and it has 40 total trips per day between Pittsburgh and the Mon Valley along the Route 88 corridor during
the work week. However, with ample service on Saturdays and two trips on Sundays the Route A schedule
is a prime mode of transportation for shopping, sporting, and cultural events in downtown Pittsburgh.

SERVICES - 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

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

In Pennsylvania, public transportation authorities have joined together to form insurance
pools to self-insure for property, liability and worker’s compensation insurance risks.
Reinsel Kuntz Lesher LLP was selected as auditor for these insurance pools that have
saved millions of dollars over the cost of commercial insurance for participating members.
Recently, we have assisted our public transit authority clients with implementation of
Government Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34.

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.

Recovery, Brake Lathe Dust Control, and Body Shop Dust Control.
• Transmatic’s L20 is a multi-functional cove lighting system that provides optimal
light levels with a minimal amount of upkeep. Condensation does not build up and
weep from the protruded fiber reinforced panel. The base panel is vandal resistant
and impervious to most solvents. The cove design includes the lighting panel, air
duct and electrical raceway. Single pin lighting promotes long life and repairable
ballasts are standard with lifetime or 12 year warranty. We offer designs
customized to fit the application.
• The versatility of Transmatic’s TransForm material encourages endless
opportunities for customizing and enhancing interiors. The freedom of design
capabilities reduces installation labor costs while creating a distinct and appealing
image. The thermal plastic material is resistant to dents and graffiti and cuts and
scratches from vandalism are easily hid due to the through-color material. A wide
range of colors is available. TransForm is the preferred material for structural
rigidity and fire and smoke safe applications.
• Our modular overhead storage loft enhances the appearance of the vehicle in
addition to providing greater functionality. Briefcases, shopping bags and umbrellas
rest in the loft freeing up seating areas for customers. Popular for suburban routes,
the loft contributes an up-scale image without the costs associated with a coach bus.
A personal convenience module provides selectable lighting and air vents for each
seat. Fluorescent lighting casts light onto the aisles and seats to provide comfort and
safety.
