Richards to Headline DCTMA's Annual Event

The following was provided to Patch by the Delaware County Transportation Management Association:

Calling all municipal managers, elected officials, engineers, road and highway managers, maintenance crews, emergency services personnel, and planning committee members – Delaware County Transportation Management Association is planning the annual Municipalities Conference and Trade Show and attendees can expect exciting new additions and highlights.

DCTMA welcomes Pennsylvania’s Acting Secretary of Transportation Leslie Richards as the keynote speaker. Under Governor Tom Wolf, Richards oversees nearly 12,000 employees and a $7.2 billion budget and serves as a senior adviser on issues related to transportation and infrastructure. Richards will discuss topics relating to this year’s theme, “Congestion Coordination & Traffic Planning Solutions.”

In addition, there will be four break-out meetings, including “Stop, Look, & Listen!” with SEPTA for answers to all public transit questions. Attendees can also network throughout the exhibit area, participate in the panel discussion and Q&A, enjoy the luncheon, and enter to win great raffle prizes, featuring an overnight gift package at Staybridge Suites in Glen Mills plus winery passes, and a chance to win a bike rack for your municipality.
