The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC) recently announced that Lillian Gabreski has been named its Director of Transportation.

She will join the organization’s leadership team, lead a department of 13 staff members, and oversee transportation initiatives on behalf of the 10-county region.

Gabreski has an exceptional background in strategic planning and transportation, as well as securing state and federal grants.

She joined the organization in 2018, and has become known by both staff members and external partners for taking innovative approaches to solving complex challenges.

“I am excited to have Lillian officially join our leadership team,” Executive Director of the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission Rich Fitzgerald said. “She has been with the organization for over six years, and in that time, has demonstrated her steadfast commitment to improving the quality of life for area residents.

Lillian’s leadership style, expertise in transportation, and proven experience in securing grants for our region made her a natural choice for this position. She will hit the ground running and continue with SPC’s mission of planning for the continued success of Southwestern Pennsylvania.”

As Director of Transportation, Gabreski will direct the development of the organization’s required program documents like the region’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP).

Both the TIP and LRTP plan for specific transportation and infrastructure projects across the 10-county region.

Additionally, Gabreski will supervise all of the department’s programs including multimodal transportation planning, operations and safety, transportation demand management, a vanpool program, active transportation initiatives like trails, and many other initiatives.

During her time at SPC, Gabreski has served in a variety of roles. More recently, she has served as the Manager of Sponsored Program Development and led the organization’s development of competitive grant funding applications for local, state, and federal discretionary programs.

She played a very instrumental part in developing the application which SPC, PennDOT, and Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) submitted to the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to secure the $142 million grant for the Eastern Pittsburgh Multimodal Corridor project.

Additionally, she has guided the organization’s efforts on equity to ensure that programs adhere to the federal environmental justice requirements and Justice40 guidance.

Gabreski earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Penn State University’s Schreyer Honors College, and a Master of Public Administration with a concertation in economic and financial policy from Cornell University.

Gabreski officially assumed the role on Oct. 24.

WASHINGTON COUNTY, Pa. — Residents in Washington County are getting a look at the long-term vision for their communities.

The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission wants to invest in hundreds of transportation and infrastructure projects over the next 25 years.

Long term, the price tag is more than $10 billion.

Monday afternoon in a town hall forum, plans were laid out to the Washington County community to get input that will eventually be included in the final plan.

Domenic D’Andrea is the director of transportation for the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission. The non-profit has been tasked with laying out long and short-term infrastructure plans in each of its counties in its region to get valuable input from residents. That’s in addition to the 500 to 600 active projects paid for with federal and state money.

Ryan Gordon is the transportation program development manager.

“We have a project in an area, we’re looking at these comments and we’re integrating those comments where we can in the design of the project,” said Gordon.

On the docket, investing in roadways and bridges and installing high-speed broadband internet.

“In Washington, we’re focused on the roadways that are the larger roadway networks. So we’re talking about state route 40, 19, 22,” said Gordon. “The Brownsville high-level bridge is an example. PA 88 over Peters Creek, bigger bridges, also Route 18 over Chartiers Creek, and also I-70 over Railroad Street.”

Installing high-speed broadband internet is also a high priority.

“Broadband as we found out during COVID is a form of infrastructure, a form of connectivity so our transportation plan includes connecting people to opportunity,” said D’Andrea.

The good news for Washington County, it’s already done some legwork to find out where the gaps are, so when funding is approved crews can get to work.

The short-range plan is a $1.9 billion dollar proposal. The long-range plan is $10.7 billion.

There is a 30-day public comment period that is open from now until June 9.

SPC Announces Vincent Valdes as New Executive Director & President/CEO

Pittsburgh, PA—The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC) Board has selected Vincent Valdes, an engineer and planner, as the new President & CEO of the organization.

“We
are very excited for Vince to begin leading our regional planning and
transportation organization,” said County Executive Rich Fitzgerald, Chair of
the SPC Board. “His experience, enthusiasm, knowledge and background are
exactly what we need as we enter into a new era of transportation and economic
growth for the region.”

The search committee, chaired by Commissioner Larry Maggi, former SPC Chair and Washington County Commissioner, led this process with the help of search firm Krauthamer & Associates. The committee sought a dynamic and innovative leader who could manage a complex planning organization and who would be willing to roll up his or her sleeves to build, inspire and develop a regional plan to support this region’s growth.

“We
are extremely happy with our new choice for SPC. The SPC executive board did an
exhaustive application and interview process and unanimously agreed upon Mr.
Valdes,” said Maggi. “He has demonstrated from his experiences that he is very
capable to handle the current and new challenges that SPC faces. I believe our
organization will be in a good place with Mr. Valdes’ leadership.”

Since
April 2008, Valdes has served as the Associate Administrator for the Office of
Research, Demonstration and Innovation with the Federal Transit Administration
(FTA) of the U.S. Department of Transportation in Washington, D.C. In addition
to serving in previous roles with the FTA, Valdes was a lead planner with the
District of Columbia Office of Planning, and worked for organizations including
Inter-American Foundation, The World Bank, ICF Incorporated, and General
Dynamics, Northrop, and Pratt & Whitney. He holds a master’s degree in
Urban Planning from Columbia University and earned his bachelor’s degree in
aerospace engineering from Boston University.

“I
am immensely delighted to be joining the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission
at this pivotal moment in the region’s history,” said Valdes. “I look forward
to working with the board and each community to spur economic development
through collaborative planning and innovative investments in infrastructure and
transportation.”

SPC
acts as a cooperative forum for collaboration, planning and public
decision-making. SPC develops public investment plans and programs, ensures
that federal and state transportation requirements are being met and operates
with other local partners with the support and trust of the public.
Additionally, SPC serves as the Local Development District and Economic
Development District for southwestern Pennsylvania. In that role, SPC
establishes and puts forth the regional economic development priorities and
provides a wide range of local government assistance programs and public
services to the region.

The
board voted on Valdes’ hiring at its March 30, 2020 meeting. He is expected to
assume the new position on June 15, 2020.

Metropolitan Planning Organization for a ten-county region including the City
of Pittsburgh, where he leads a
team of planners, program managers, transportation specialists and engineers
working to create a common regional vision and transportation implementation
program for the communities of southwestern Pennsylvania.  The Carey Award—named in honor of W.N. Carey,
Jr., TRB’s Executive Director from 1967 to 1980—recognizes individuals who have
given leadership and distinguished service to TRB.

The award will be presented on Wednesday, January 12, 2022, during the Chair’s Plenary Session portion of the TRB Annual Meeting, January 9-13, 2022, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

Mr. Valdes has
been engaged with TRB for more than 20 years. 
During that period, he has been a constant fixture and participant at
TRB’s Annual Meeting. As the Associate Administrator for the Office of
Research, Demonstration and Innovation with the Federal Transit Administration

The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC) is the region’s forum for collaboration, planning and public decision-making. As the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the ten-county region including the City of Pittsburgh and the counties of Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Washington, and Westmoreland, SPC is responsible for planning and prioritizing the use of state and federal transportation funds allocated to the region. As the Local Development District (LDD) and Economic Development District for Southwestern Pennsylvania (as designated by the U.S. Appalachian Regional Commission and the U.S. Department of Commerce), SPC establishes regional economic development priorities and provides a wide range of public services to the region.

In Southwestern Pennsylvania, we’re standing on the edge of a transformative decade for transportation. The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC) is more than just a planning body. We are a collective force uniting 10 counties — Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Washington and Westmoreland — and the City of Pittsburgh, all with a shared mission of improving connectivity, fostering economic growth and building a resilient future for all residents. Our work today will help set the foundation for a transportation system that truly meets the needs of our communities as we move through the challenges and opportunities of the next decade.

Our region’s needs are diverse and evolving. From bustling urban centers to remote rural areas, each community we serve has unique needs. That’s why our approach prioritizes a transportation network that offers reliable, safe and efficient access to work, school, health care and recreation for all Southwestern Pennsylvanians. By balancing investments in traditional infrastructure — such as roads, bridges and public transit systems — with innovative approaches to mobility, we can build a future-ready network that keeps our communities and economy moving forward.

As we look ahead, our vision extends beyond just moving people. We see a future where transportation planning and economic development go hand in hand, supporting job creation, attracting new businesses and enhancing the quality of life across our region. A robust transportation system not only boosts the economy by connecting workers to jobs and goods to markets, but also creates opportunities in areas where growth has historically been limited. Our efforts are focused on bridging these gaps, ensuring that communities across Southwestern Pennsylvania can benefit from increased accessibility and economic resilience.

Our Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), Smart Moves for a Changing Region, serves as a roadmap for the next 25 years, articulating a clear vision that ties transportation improvements to economic development and quality of life goals. With this plan, we outline key investments in infrastructure, prioritizing projects that enhance connectivity, improve safety and support sustainable growth.

We are committed to integrating innovations like expanded public transit options, electric vehicle infrastructure and modernized traffic management systems — all designed to reduce congestion, minimize environmental impact and strengthen the region’s appeal to businesses and residents alike.

The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is the actionable component of our long-range vision, translating priorities from our LRTP into reality through a four-year investment plan. The TIP allocates funding for specific projects, from road and bridge maintenance to transit expansions and bike-friendly pathways. By focusing on high-impact, shovel-ready projects, we can address the pressing infrastructure needs of today while laying the groundwork for a robust, future-ready transportation system. With close collaboration between local governments and community organizations, the TIP ensures that our investments directly benefit the people and businesses of Southwestern Pennsylvania, creating immediate value while building a foundation for the future.

At SPC, we envision a Southwestern Pennsylvania where transportation serves as a bridge to a brighter future for everyone. In collaboration with local governments, businesses and communities, we’re shaping a network that not only meets today’s needs, but anticipates tomorrow’s challenges. Over the next 10 years, we are committed to building a transportation system that reflects the strength, diversity and resilience of our region—making it a place where all can thrive. Together, we will pave the way toward a sustainable, prosperous and connected future for Southwestern Pennsylvania.

We are now less than 25 days away from the 2026 NFL Draft, which will take place in Pittsburgh from April 24 to 26, and with hundreds of thousands of fans expected to descend on the city, getting there smartly could be just as important as getting there at all.

The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC) has played an important role in helping shape the regional transportation plan for this year’s draft. As the designated metropolitan planning organization for the region, SPC has worked alongside partner organizations to coordinate a comprehensive approach to moving fans safely throughout Pittsburgh and the surrounding region.  

A key part of that effort was ensuring that fans from outside of Allegheny County had real options for getting into Pittsburgh efficiently. 10 regional transit agencies across southwestern Pennsylvania will provide expanded and connected service during draft week, with express routes, extended hours and connections to park and ride locations that link directly into Pittsburgh’s transit system. 

The draft’s footprint spans two main areas: Point State Park on the Downtown side of the Allegheny River, and the North Shore near Acrisure Stadium. Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) and city officials have developed a comprehensive transportation plan to facilitate safe and efficient movement between the two sites, and in many cases, for free.  

Sheetz has partnered with PRT to make light rail and the Monongahela Incline completely free from April 23 through 25. The free-fare initiative covers all travel on the Red, Blue, and Silver lines with no tickets, transit cards or apps required to board. Fans can use the Gateway, Wood Street, Steel Plaza or First Avenue stations for rides to North Side Station. Riders should note that Allegheny Station will be closed April 22 through 25 and should plan to use North Side Station instead.  

Those looking for a more scenic option can walk across the Roberto Clemente Bridge, which will be closed to vehicles and open exclusively to pedestrians as a dedicated gateway between the two draft sites. For a unique and distinctly Pittsburgh experience, the Gateway Clipper Fleet will also run shuttle boats throughout the weekend, connecting Point State Park to the Acrisure Stadium Quay, and more running between Station Square and PNC Park. 

For fans coming from outside the city or looking for a broader picture of their transit options, SPC Transit Staff has put together an interactive transportation planning map specifically built around the draft. The map, accessible at platform.remix.com, displays all active transit lines serving the greater Pittsburgh area during draft weekend, including bus routes, light rail lines, the inclines, and park and ride locations throughout the region. 

Using the map is straightforward. Visitors can toggle different transit lines and data layers on and off to focus on the routes most relevant to where they are coming from. A park and ride layer is also available, making it easy to identify the nearest lot, plan a route into the city, and avoid the congestion and parking challenges that come with any major downtown event. 

Regardless of where you’re coming from, the map offers a clear starting point for building your game plan before draft weekend arrives. It’s definitely worth taking a look at for those interested in maximizing efficiency. 

Additionally, city and transit officials are strongly recommending against fans driving into the city altogether during draft weekend. However, for those who must drive, the ParkPGH app allows users to track real-time parking availability. Carpooling is also encouraged to help reduce congestion in the Golden Triangle. Parking restrictions will be strictly enforced throughout the weekend, and vehicles in restricted areas may be ticketed or towed. 

Significant road closures will be in effect across Downtown and the North Shore in multiple phases. The most widespread closures run April 22 through 25 and include Federal Street, the 6th and 7th Street bridges, Penn Avenue from Stanwix Street to 9th Street, Liberty Avenue and several highway ramps into and out of the area. 

Road closure updates will be shared in advance of each phase and posted on the NFL OnePass app and pittsburghpa.gov, and PRT’s full transit guide for the draft can be found at rideprt.org/2026-draft/draft. 

Beyond the logistics, there is plenty to look forward to once fans arrive. Free public events at Point State Park and the North Shore include interactive fan experiences, a Pro Football Hall of Fame exhibit, food from local Pittsburgh restaurants, and live music. Fans are also invited to watch Round 1 on Thursday and Rounds 2 and 3 on Friday from the field at Acrisure Stadium. Draft picks begin at 8 p.m. Thursday, 7 p.m. Friday, and noon Saturday. Doors will officially open at noon on Thursday and Friday and 9 a.m. on Saturday. 

However you plan to get there, officials agree on one thing: the earlier you plan, the better your weekend experience will be.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is hosting an on-demand virtual public meeting and comment period for a Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study exploring sustainable transportation funding options. The public meeting is accessible online at all hours of the day through June 1, 2021, at www.penndot.gov/funding. The PEL study, in support of the PennDOT Pathways program, is being conducted to identify near- and long-term alternative funding solutions and establish a methodology for their evaluation.

In February, PennDOT announced candidate bridge projects being considered as a part of the Major Bridge Public-Private Partnership (P3) Initiative. This initiative, the first of the PennDOT Pathways Program, was formed in response to one of the early findings of the PEL study – that tolling of major bridges in need of replacement or rehabilitation is a potentially viable near-term funding solution. The draft PEL study report is currently available for review and comment and identifies additional medium- to long-term funding alternatives that could be considered for implementation.

PennDOT encourages the public to review the materials presented in the virtual meeting and to provide comments, which will be accepted throughout the duration of the meeting. Online comments can be submitted directly from the meeting website or via other comment submission methods, including:

• Email: PennDOTPathways@pa.gov
• Hotline: 717-325-6129

The Transportation Revenue Options Commission (TROC), which was established by Governor Tom Wolf’s Executive Order on March 12, today received a briefing on the draft PEL study. When completed, the final PEL study will be provided to the TROC.

PennDOT will make all reasonable modifications to policies, programs, and documents to ensure that people with disabilities and those with limited English proficiency have an equal opportunity to enjoy all of its programs, services, and activities.
