Chester County’s highway infrastructure must be improved and maintained to ensure the safe and efficient transport of people, goods and services.
TMACC has been a strong and vocal advocate for road reconstruction projects in Chester County and the Delaware Valley region.
Major road projects supported by TMACC include:
Chester County’s bus and rail network must be enhanced and expanded to ensure that commuters have a reliable alternative to driving.
Not only is TMACC a strong advocate for public transit, it is also a provider. For the past 10 years, TMACC has provided bus service in Chester County. TMACC bus lines – SCCOOT, Coatesville Link and Beeline – connect residential communities to commercial and retail corridors where many residents work and shop.
Improving access to jobs is essential to the economic viability of Chester County. Thousands of employers throughout Chester County rely on TMACC to provide public transportation for their employees to commute to work on a daily basis.
Federal and state subsidies for public transit have been reduced which threatens the future of public transportation in Chester County. TMACC continues to strongly encourage federal, state and county governments to provide TMACC and other public transit agencies with stable and performance-driven funding annually.
TMACC supports the efforts of the Pennsylvania Legislature to provide inflation sensitive, long-term funding stream to address the Pennsylvania’s transportation funding crisis.
Pennsylvania needs an additional $1.7 billion a year in additional revenues to repair the state’s aging infrastructure and structurally-deficit bridges and to maintain and expand public transit.
TMACC will continue to work with federal and state elected representatives, business and civic leaders to develop a solution to the state’s transportation funding crisis today and in the future.
