ANNUAL TRANSPORTATION CONFERENCE TO FOCUS ON INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING

GVF Transportation, with the support of a number of corporate sponsors, will focus on Infrastructure Funding at their 2008 Transportation Conference, which will be held 8 a.m. Monday, November 17, 2008 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in King of Prussia.

This year’s guest speakers include representatives from ACT International, Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC), GRI, Montgomery County Planning Commission, PennDOT, SEPTA and Urban Trans. Topics of discussion will include transportation reauthorization, funding and business initiatives, as well as a focus on the impact of climate change.

“As we move forward with a new Presidential Administration and with transportation funding at a critical juncture, we feel this event will give insight into where we are not only as region but nationally as well. Climate change’s impact, transit, and our infrastructure are critical to our success as we compete not only locally but globally,” said Rob Henry, Executive Director of GVF Transportation.

Sponsors of this year’s conference include: Boles Smyth Associates; Gannett Fleming; Gilmore & Associates; Kravco Simon; Lower Providence Township; McMahon; Pennoni Associates Inc.; SEPTA; Traffic Planning and Design, Inc.; Urban Engineers; URS and Verizon.
