The Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) provides technical information and expertise to help municipal governments use transportation funds more effectively, improve road maintenance, and increase roadway safety.
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.
This year first responders in Greater Philadelphia have a new tool to help notify drivers of emergency vehicles, even before they are visible. Digital alerting, or Responder-to-Vehicle technology, alerts motorists of responders’ positions directly to their vehicle navigation system, increasing awareness of roadside hazards and encouraging compliance with Move Over, Slow Down laws.
