Anne Canby, president of the national Surface Transportation Policy
Project will address the critical role of transportation to the economic
vitality of regions as well as its importance to redeveloping communities and
social equity. She'll conclude introducing a reaction panel of local
leaders who will discuss what's at stake given the window of time for the
Governor's Transportation Finance and Reform Commission to make recommendations
for long-term reliable funding solutions to address the on-going transportation
funding crisis. A local
reaction panel will follow. Panel
members are: Micelle L. Mixell, AICP;
Mary Jo Morandini, Beaver County Transit Authority; and Richard C. Feder, AICP,
Port Authority.
Following the Champs forum, the public is also invited to attend a
transportation update session. This will include introduction to the 2006
Transportation Funding Initiative to be held in the same location from 9:45 a.m.
- 11:00 a.m. (See http://www.sustainablepittsburgh.org/TLC/transportation_reform_and_funding_commission_testimony_01_26_06.htm).
Anne Canby will provide an update on the new federal transportation bill (SAFETEA-LU)
and update will be provided on the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission's
progress on the region's Transportation Improvement Program and Long Range
Transportation and Development Plan (Project Region).
