Statewide Active Transportation Summit
Working on improving walking, biking, and accessibility in your community now? Thinking about doing so in the future? You should plan to attend the 2026 Statewide Active Transportation Summit to meet people doing this work in various parts of PA, see examples of work underway, and discover key elements to help you bring active transportation improvements home for your area.
There is a full rundown, including registration links, draft schedule, and room block info (only good through May 12!) on the PDC website here: Statewide Active Transportation Summit
The event proper is taking place on Thursday, June 4, with some optional activities the evening prior, including tours and a reception at Millworks with the new Coalition for Active Mobility in Pennsylvania, which will also be featured in a plenary panel discussion on the 4th.
The event is open to all who live and/or work in PA. That said, people who are in DEP Environmental Justice areas (defined for this purpose as having a PennEnviroScreen score above 60%) or DOH SPAN and Diabetes priority counties are even eligible to apply for travel cost scholarships. Those counties are Berks, Clearfield, Erie, Fayette, Forest, Greene, Lackawanna, Lawrence, Lebanon, Lehigh, Luzerne, Lycoming, Mercer, Northumberland, and Philadelphia.
