Join APAPA and PennDOT on April 18, 2013, at DVRPC for a 2-CM-credit training on PennDOT’s new handbook, “Improving Connectivity and System Function through Local Planning.”  This training will offer an overview of the handbook and provide guidance to municipalities on how to enhance vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian connectivity. The presenters will discuss strategies to effectively regulate and manage a connected transportation network within a community, including a review of connectivity index calculations and model ordinance language.

Registration begins at 1:30 p.m.; the workshop is from 2:00 – 4:00. The training is free for APA-PA members and $25 for non-members. Register here.

The PA Chapter of APA and PennDOT have once again teamed to bring planners a valuable workshop on transportation planning, this time focusing on official maps.  There are four sessions statewide, including one at DVRPC on Wednesday, May 9, 2012, 1:00 pm – 4:30 pm.  Three CM credits are pending for the session, which will help planners understand how official maps may be effectively used to preserve open space, develop bicycle/pedestrian trails, and facilitate a wide range of transportation system improvements.  The session is free for PA Chapter members and only $25 for non-members.

Register online at www.planningpa.org or by returning the registration form below, which includes additional information on the sessions.
