The Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC) presented DVRPC with the Trailblazer Award for leadership in securing federal funding for critical Circuit Trails projects. The Circuit Trails network is Greater Philadelphia’s multi-use trail system connecting people to jobs, communities, parks, and waterways. Governments, non-profits, and foundations have collaborated to complete over 415 miles of the envisioned 800-mile regional network to date.
Congratulations to recently retired DVRPC Deputy Executive Director Patty Elkis, who received the 2024 Leaders Award for Distinguished Service, and the project team for Vision Zero: Hunting Park, who received the Award for Plans.
The award recognizes the next generation of professionals working to find creative solutions to improve quality of life through engineering, planning, marketing campaigns, and the development of community alternative programs that are shifting behavioral change.
