The Lehigh Valley Planning Commission (LVPC) has offered the Pennsylvania Municipal Planning Education Institute (PMPEI) courses in community planning and land use regulations since 2014. These courses are targeted to planning commissioners, zoning hearing board members, zoning administrators, elected officials and others with an interest or involvement in planning. Over 300 people from the public, non-profit and private sectors have graduated from at least one of the courses since 2014. Included among them are 79 people who earned the distinction of being named a Certified Citizen Planner for attending three courses, ushering in a new era of community land use leadership.

This course explored the work of planning commissions in the subdivision and land development review process, from pre-application meetings through project completion. The course was organized into three major sections: principles of subdivision and land development regulation and ordinance requirements; subdivision and land development review procedures; and design and technical standards of subdivision and land development. Participants received hands-on experience reviewing plans and designing alternative solutions.

Local Technical Assistance Program
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Local Technical Assistance Program (PennDOT LTAP) is one of 58 LTAP centers across the nation (one in each state, Puerto Rico and six regional centers serving American Indian tribal governments). These centers are dedicated to transferring transportation technology through training, technical assistance and other customer services to municipal elected officials and their staff. LTAP has provided technology transfer services to Pennsylvania's 2,600 municipal governments since 1983.
The PennDOT LTAP program is designed to help Pennsylvania's municipalities, which maintain over 68,000 miles of roadways, make the best use of their roadway maintenance dollars. LTAP provides free technical information and proven technologies dealing with roadway maintenance and safety methods to meet the growing demands on municipal governments.
The LVPC partnered with PennDOT to provide free LTAP training opportunities to the Region's municipalities, creating more awareness of the value of LTAP training and identifying how LTAP can benefit local transportation programs. LTAP's availability and convenience make it a logical extension of the services the LVPC typically provides to the Region.
