CELEBRATING 20 YEARS, GVF PROUD TO PARTNER WITH TREDYFFRIN TOWNSHIP

Since its founding in 1990, GVF has worked diligently with area municipalities, large corporations, colleges and universities, as well as local and state agencies throughout Chester and Montgomery Counties, to increase mobility and decrease congestion throughout the region.


GVF would not be able to make the impact it has had on the region without the help and support of its longstanding partners. Therefore, as GVF celebrates its 20th year of service, GVF staff wants to take this opportunity to recognize Tredyffrin Township and Mimi Gleason, Tredyffrin Township Manager.

“GVF helps Tredyffrin Township stay informed about transportation projects and alternatives, funding opportunities, and lessons learned from other partners and regions. GVF also provides a forum for Tredyffrin to work together with others in the public and private sectors towards sustainable transportation solutions in this part of the Philadelphia region, which impact the economic climate for our businesses and the quality of life for our residents,” said Tredyffrin Township Manager Mimi Gleason.

During the past 20 years, GVF has worked closely with Tredyffrin Township on:

• US 202 Section 300

• Section 400

• Paoli Transportation Center Task Force

• PA Turnpike Design Roundtable

"Tredyffrin Township was on the forefront in establishing GVF, the first transportation management association (TMA), in the commonwealth and continues to lead in our field today. It's been a wonderful relationship over our twenty years as Tredyffrin Township has and continues to be a leader on smart growth, sustainability and planning for their residents’ future," said Rob Henry, Executive Director of GVF.

GVF is a transportation management association based in King of Prussia that offers a forum in which the business community and municipal, county and state officials can collectively work on transportation issues affecting the Greater Valley Forge area.

A goal of GVF is to enhance mobility and safety through the reduction of congestion and pollution. GVF helps to promote the area's orderly growth, sustain its quality of life and ensure its continued economic vitality.

Throughout the past 20 years, GVF has been a driving force for a number of projects throughout the region, including:

• PA 309 reconstruction project

• More than 100,000 trips generated on GVF’s corporate and community shuttles

• Partnered to install more than 150 bus shelters in the region

• PA 73 reconstruction project

• Partnered to establish the transportation center at the King of Prussia Mall

• Continues to advocate to keep the region moving and growing
