The first in a series of virtual gatherings, hear directly from Philadelphia International Airport’s CEO, Chellie Cameron on the impact of COVID-19 on the airline industry and how the airport is working to accommodate travelers in the coming months. U.S. Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1st District), who sits on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, will provide insight into potential legislation that could provide relief to the industry and thoughts on how it would be implemented.
About Region on the Rise
Before the COVID-19 crisis, Greater Philadelphia saw an increasing demand in modern mobility as a central hub for transportation. Home to the nation’s 3rd busiest Amtrak station, an international airport which exceeded 32 million passengers last year, and roadways and bridges that typically see more than 37.4 million vehicles a year, the once bustling sectors of the transportation industry have come to a halt due to the stay-at-home orders. As the economy begins to reopen under strict guidelines, the transportation industry must adapt to ensure the safe passage of travelers.
As a virtual series, Region on the Rise brings together top officials from our region’s transportation systems and influential lawmakers for an insightful discussion about the impact of COVID-19 and the future of the transportation industry.
This event is exclusive to Chamber members. Once your registration has been received, we will share a calendar invitation with Zoom information 24 hours before the meeting. For any questions, contact Emma Petty at epetty@chamberphl.com.
