Exclusive Members Only Events
Held throughout the year, DCTMA coordinates FREE members-only events, which focus on our members related to the transportation industry. It’s a chance for our members to get together, while learning something new and having fun too! We recently arranged an insider tour of PennDOT’s Traffic Control Center, and had the opportunity to see a live demonstration of how it operates. Plus, we learned more about PennDOT’s future plans for the state’s highway construction.
