On June 23, 2011 the Pennsylvania Environmental Council and the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) hosted the first ever Active Transportation Summit, a regional conference dedicated to expanding the Regional Trail Network in Greater Philadelphia. With a perfect view of the regional rail trains outside the Cira Centre, and the Schuylkill River Trail and Philadelphia Art Musuem beyond, attendees learned about new models of intergovernmental collaboration, funding sources and local success stories. At the end of the conference, participants discussed the challenges and solutions in moving the trail network forward. To cap the day off, many people attended a tour of the historic Manayunk Bridge, the soon-to-be location of a beautiful new trail spanning the Schuylkill River.
