As state funding dries up and PennDOT focuses more on bridges, municipalities are left to maintain traffic signals, mitigate congestion, and accommodate bicycles and pedestrians. How do municipalities handle transportation issues when taxpayers are demanding improved services without large tax increases? The purpose of this seminar is to present low-cost transportation improvements that municipalities can pursue with solutions that reduce congestion, reduce vehicle emissions and encourage alternative modes of transportation. The seminar also includes an update on the SPC's traffic signal optimization program that will greatly assist municipalities.
Participants will learn:
- Solutions for traffic congestion
- Tools for traffic safety
- How to get started
- Funding options
Speakers:
Dominic D'Andrea, Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC)
