Featuring:

James Corless, Director of Transportation for America

Transportation for America is a coalition of 250 organizations working to promote a new national transportation policy that is smarter, safer, cleaner, and which provides usership with more choices. Corless will discuss how regions can acquire additional tools to build more sustainable communities through the federal transportation reauthorization bill that is currently being formulated in Congress.  Additionally, he will share some of his experiences in California as a transportation planner. While in that role, Corless successfully advocated for a state law which now requires transportation planning to incorporate sustainability measures that reduce greenhouse gases and energy use.

 

Barry Seymour, Executive Director of the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission

Mr. Seymour will provide an overview of regional planning in southeastern Pennsylvania.

His presentation will be followed by a panel which will be moderated by: Rachel Weinberger, University of Pennsylvania.

Panelists include: Rina Cutler, Philadelphia's Deputy Mayor for Transportation and Utilities,  Joe Hoeffel, Montgomery County Comissioner, and an elected official from one of the suburbs surrounding the city.

Center for Environmental Policy



The goals of the Center for Environmental Policy (CEP) at The Academy of Natural Sciences are to evaluate key issues of environmental policy, facilitate dialogues and decision-making on environmental topics, and inform the public from both an academic as well as practical perspective.  The CEP will answer the need for a non-partisan, science-based organization that is capable of accessing and guiding a myriad of public and private stakeholders.
