The speaker, Donna Cooper, Pennsylvania Secretary of Policy and Planning, will examine with us the transportation funding crisis.
As the Pennsylvania Legislative session winds down, what are the options remaining for transportation funding policy? What choices and issues might confront the next legislative session - and a new governor? The Governor’s Office of Policy and Planning coordinates program planning and policy development among the executive branch agencies and works closely with the Governor's Budget, Legislative and Washington offices to ensure that federal and state policy options are thoroughly examined for their fiscal, legislative and programmatic consequences.
