Abington Traffic Summit will be at Penn State Abington (Sutherland Auditorium on School Lane) on May 9, 2012, from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Officials from the state, county and township will be present to look at the impact of traffic on our local economy and the safety of our neighbors. Please complete the survey and your input will be factored-into the things discussed at the Summit – including case studies.
A Local Traffic Advisory Committee (LTAC) is an option offered by PennDOT. Its Traffic Calming Handbook recommends that citizens work together with officials to identify what can realistically be done to improve traffic safety conditions in a municipality. RMCA will begin forming this Committee on May 9. If you express an interest in serving on this committee, the minimum commitment is to report traffic accidents you learn about. This will allow the LTAC to maintain records that can be presented to PennDOT District 6-0 in the event that 70% of the community wishes to make a change in Abington Township.
