This Friday the Transportation Management Association of Chester County (TMACC) will host a Fall Luncheon featuring the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s (PennDOT) Jennie Granger.
Granger, head of the railways department as well as Aviation Director, will discuss the initiatives, goals and strategies for the future of Chester County’s five major train stations (Paoli, Downingtown, Coatesville, Parkesburg and Exton) based on PennDOT’s Plan The Keystone study.
“The Keystone Corridor is an asset to Chester County residents, businesses and elected officials,” said TMACC Executive Director, P. Timothy Phelps. “We continue to witness strong ridership growth. The initiatives proposed by PennDOT to improve the needs of these rapidly growing train stations directly benefits riders and improves service. Our Luncheon will provide ideas and realistic answers from Jennie Granger which will shed light into the future of these transportation hubs.”
Granger joined PennDOT in April 2013 as the Special Assistant to Deputy for Multimodal Transportation. Currently, Granger is serving as the Bureau Director for Aviation. In addition to her aviation duties, she provides project management support to the Multimodal Deputate in the development of capital improvements along the Keystone line.
The Fall Luncheon will be held at the Chester Valley Golf Club in Malvern along Swedesford Road from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Registration begins at 11:30 a.m. If you wish to register for the luncheon, please contact Betty Shaw of TMACC at betty@tmacc.org or call 610-993-0911.
