2009-2010 DCTMA High School Seat Belt Challenge

Participating schools competed for a $500 grant to go to the student organization of their choice and a display plaque.  The DCTMA conducted two anonymous, un-announced surveys as a way to track the number of students and passengers who wore their seat belts on their way to school – one survey was done before a school wide safety assembly in March, and another about a month after the assembly.  The school’s students that showed the most improved seat belt use rate won the contest.  The Challenge is run by the DCTMA, in conjunction with Delaware County Highway Safety (a division of Public Health Management Corporation) and local police. 

Congratulations to Monsignor Bonner High School, with a 13% seat belt use increase. Members of Bonner's Student Council are shown here accepting their $500 prize money.

2010 Municipalities Conference & Tradeshow

"Protecting Your Community & Your Bottom Line"

Tuesday, April 13, 2010      8 am-2 pm

“Protecting Your Community & Your Bottom Line” was selected as this year’s theme because we know there are many municipalities and local businesses that want to do the best for their environment and their neighbors, but don’t always have the resources or information to move from goal to action. Our keynote speaker and panel discussion will offer attendees tangible, can-do suggestions to go green that will meet your needs, your time constraints and your budget.

Opening remarks were offered by Vice Chair of Delaware County Council, Christine Fizzano Cannon, followed by our Keynote Speaker was Janet Milkman, Executive Director of the Delaware Valley Green Building Council.
