Dear (Contact First Name),

 

We invite you and all who want to see a bright 

future for Pennsylvania to attend our 

Sept. 25th Forum and Reception 

at the Pyramid Club.*

 

While transportation funding always seems to be in crisis mode here in Pennsylvania, the current situation is especially extreme, especially momentous. 

 

And PenTrans believes we all should do everything we can to encourage passage of an adequate transportation funding bill this year.  

 

PennDOT Secretary Barry Schoch, Representative Kate Harper, Montgomery County Commissioner Leslie Richards and SEPTA General Manager Joe Casey will be with us Sept. 25th to make the case for adequate transportation funding legislation.

 

We believe our Sept. 25th Forum falls within a crucial window of opportunity: though the legislature must yet wrestle with conflicting interests and political division, this is the time when wisdom and reason can help move our lawmakers to a favorable decision.  

  

But many voices must be heard!  

  

Details and Registration Here  

  

*We may not have room to accommodate everyone who plans to come but has not yet registered. Please register promptly and watch this space for further information.
