  • 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.

    1 VOLUME 53 NUMBER 3 DISTRICT 2—CHAPTER WEBSITE: WWW.NRHS1.ORG MARCH, 2021 CHANGING OF THE GUARD With this issue, for the first time in over 15 years, Ed Mayover is not the editor of the Lancaster Dispatcher. As the new editor, I am both humbled and terrified! Ed has set such a high bar of quality and workmanship in producing a professional newsletter for 185 months. Reading each of his issues has always been a joy. Hopefully all of Ed’s past issues will inspire me to do almost as well as he has done. By way of introduction, I am a volunteer at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania and of course , a life-long railfan. My dad was a freight sales representative for the Canadian National, so it must be in my blood. My business career was in sales in the automotive aftermarket, cumulating as the executive director of the Maryland state automotive trade association. Here I produced nine newsletters annually for four years, so I do have experience in this endeav- or. I am not alone, as Ed could only be replaced by three people! Joining me are two unindicted coconspirators from the RRMPA, Steve Ferrell and Tom Fluck. Steve has agreed to be co-editor and Tom a contributing editor. Steve is the Treasurer of the Friends of the Railroad Museum and Steve, Tom and I are on the Finance Committee of the Friends. Pre-covid, we often rode on “Ride with Me Steve:” excursions via Amtrak, SEPTA and NJT. We will bring you some of these trip reports in future issues.

  • NEC Capital Investment Plan
    Northeast Corridor Capital Investment Plan Fiscal Years 2020-2024 March 2019 (amended July 2020) Congress established the Northeast Corridor Commission to develop coordinated strategies for improving the Northeast’s core rail network in recognition of the inherent challenges of planning, financing, and implementing major infrastructure improvements that cross multiple jurisdictions. The expectation is that by coming together to take collective responsibility for the NEC, these disparate stakeholders will achieve a level of success that far exceeds the potential reach of any individual organization. The Commission is governed by a board comprised of one member from each of the NEC states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland) and the District of Columbia; four members from Amtrak; and five members from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The Commission also includes non- voting representatives from freight railroads, states with connecting corridors and several commuter operators in the Region.
