2017 event programming will
promote innovative transportation
ideas, advocate for sustainable
infrastructure funding and
efficient transportation projects
and recognize best practices
throughout the County. We have
helped thousands of commuters
navigate bridge closures like Route
926 and Route 23, understand
the improvements during the
reconstruction of US 202 and
manage through SEPTAs temporary
loss of railcars. The staff have been
engaged in community discussions
such as the Route 1 Initiative
managed by the Southern Chester
County Chamber, the Route 30
Corridor study funded by Western
Chester County Chamber, the
continued Chester Valley Trail
development and many other
transportation initiatives proposed
by the Chester County Planning
Commission. TMACC members
and staff are helping to influence
transportation demand management
policies and projects throughout the
County.
Ultimately, transportation, whether
its planes, trains, automobiles,
trucks, buses, bikes or pedestrians,
is about allowing the flow of
people and goods from place to
place. Our ability, to successfully
maintain, operate, and improve the
transportation network, directly
impacts quality of life and the
business environment for residents
and workers in Chester County.

 A LETTER FROM DON
I ve had the privilege of serving on the TMACC Board of Directors since 2009, the
last six years as the Treasurer and a member of the Executive Committee. This has
afforded me the opportunity to work closely with our Executive Director (Tim
Phelps) and his staff, and to appreciate TMACCs efforts to make Chester County a better place
to live, work and play. Areas of focus include improving the countys air quality, reducing traffic
congestion through travel demand management (TDM), providing multimodal transportation
options to communities, and increasing awareness for bicycle and pedestrian safety.
2016 was a year of growth and advancement for TMACC. Weve elected more diverse leaders

We are connected to the community now more than ever, thanks to our strong social media presence and communications.
In 2016, TMACC expanded our social media presence by 22%, increased our email list by 28%, and published our
printed quarterly newsletter (see our community page for more information regarding TMACC communications).
2017 already looks like a promising year for TMACC. All of this years signature and foundation events have been
confirmed, we were just signed on as sub-consultants to both a construction project and road study, and our ChescoBus
routes have been improved. With your help, Im excited to see how much more we can accomplish in the upcoming
months.
I would like to thank and recognize both TMACCs outgoing Chair, Chris Williams, and outgoing Vice Chair, Mike
Grigalonis for their efforts on behalf of TMACC. Chris and Mike have dedicated countless hours to advancing this
organization and working with Tim and staff to promote the activities of TMACC. Speaking for the current Executive
Committee, we hope to continue in their footsteps to help grow and improve TMACCs services to Chester County and
the transportation community.
TMACC is a collaborative effort, and we need your participation to be
