The appropriate reports are attached: DRPA GFOA AWARD The DRPA filed its 2016 Comprehensive Annual Report to the GFOA (Government Finance Officers Association) by its deadline of June 30, 2017. The DRPA submits this annual report each year in order to qualify for the prestigious “Certificate of Achievement for Financial Reporting” award, which the Authority has won for twenty-four (24) consecutive years. The submission of the annual report is the culmination of the completion of the annual independent audit and the finalization of our audited financial statements by our external auditors. This effort is generally a four-month process , which involves most of the staff in the DRPA and PATCO Finance areas, as well as Revenue Audit, and other areas outside of the Finance Division (IS, HRS, etc.). The annual audit is overseen by the Office of the Inspector General and an Exit Conference Report is filed with the Audit Committee, prior to the completion of the annual report. The audited financial statements have also been sent to our LOC and direct purchase loan banks in compliance with various Reimbursement and Continuing Covenant agreements. WTS EXPO On June 7, 2017 the DRPA was represented at the Women’s Transportation Seminar (WTS) first ever DBE Expo in Philadelphia, PA. Rick Mosback, Director of Procurement; Amy Ash, Contract Administration Manager; Erin Watterson, EEO Specialist; Brigitte Kordzian, Senior Engineer and Ron Kelly, Compliance met with DBE firms at The International Building on Chestnut Street to share information on how to do business with the Authority. Attendees left with the newly released 2016 Year End Report reporting all dollars paid to MBE / WBE / DBE / SBE and VOB firms in 2016 along with other useful information provided by key staff. The event welcomed approximately 100 area businesses interested in building business relationships with local transit agencies. Others in attendance included SEPTA, The City of Philadelphia, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission and The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission. This event aligns with the Authority Shared Values of “Collaboration”, “Diversity & Inclusion” and “Authentic Communication”.

The report summarizes all awards made to certified disadvantaged, minority and women-owned businesses in 2004, and reports on the actual dollars paid to these businesses. This year, for the first time, we have also made this report available to the public via CD-Rom. The report is also on our website at www.drpa.org/obdeo. In 2004, the Delaware River Port Authority spent $77.3 million, and paid $20.9 million or 27% to certified D/M/WBEs. While the Authority spent considerably less in 2004, our commitment to leveling the playing field for all businesses desiring to compete for contract opportunities remained firm. Since 1994, the year our Board approved our non-discrimination programs, the Delaware River Port Authority and the Port Authority Transit Corporation, collectively “the Authority,” have paid more than $170.5 million to disadvantaged, minority and women-owned businesses interested in competing for contract opportunities. We remain committed to taking affirmative steps to “level the playing field” for all businesses.

  • On Track Progress Towards Transit-Oriented Development in The
    Created in 1965, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is an interstate, intercounty and intercity agency that provides continuing, comprehensive and coordinated planning to shape a vision for the future growth of the Delaware Valley region. The region includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties, as well as the City of Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Mercer counties in New Jersey. DVRPC provides technical assistance and services; conducts high priority studies that respond to the requests and demands of member state and local governments; fosters cooperation among various constituents to forge a consensus on diverse regional issues; determines and meets the needs of the private sector; and practices public outreach efforts to promote two-way communication and public awareness of regional issues and the Commission. Our logo is adapted from the official DVRPC seal, and is designed as a stylized image of the Delaware Valley. The outer ring symbolizes the region as a whole, while the diagonal bar signifies the Delaware River. The two adjoining crescents represent the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey. DVRPC is funded by a variety of funding sources including federal grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Pennsylvania and New Jersey departments of transportation, as well as by DVRPC’s state and local member governments. The authors, however, are solely responsible for its findings and conclusions, which may not represent the official views or policies of the funding agencies. DVRPC fully complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and related statutes and regulations in all programs and activities.

The minutes were approved. CEO, John Hanson – DRPA/PATCO CEO Hanson addressed an inquiry regarding the PATCO Philadelphia Station Concourse and plan to address the homeless conditions as more commuters return to Philadelphia. He reported that GM Rink has been working with the city of Philadelphia. The encampments are primarily on the city-owned concourses at 12-13th Streets and 15-16th Streets. CEO Hanson offered his opinion to the committee as he did to Fox News, receiving negative pushback, none of which changed his mind. He opined that the problems with the unsheltered are very complex. The people that are being dealt with are generally affected by sudden extreme poverty, mental health issues, or substance abuse issues. CEO Hanson stated that he believes none of the issues are choices that are made, but things that have happened to them. They are people who have rights and who are entitled to be treated with dignity. So, what is being done is being respectful to their rights and that recognizes their dignity as human beings.
