ABOUT HALF OF THEM LEAVE AFTER GRADUATION TO WORK IN OTHER CITIES. TO RETAIN MORE OF THESE STUDENTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH DEGREES IN HIGH DEMAND IN OUR WORKFORCE, THE CONFERENCE LAUNCHED A SERIES OF "CRAWLS," SHOWCASING THE AREA'S EMPLOYERS, RECREATION, EATERIES AND ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS, AS WELL AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEADERSHIP. THE RESULTS ARE ENCOURAGING: STUDENTS WERE WOWED BY THE REGION'S ASSETS AND MOST SAID THEY WOULD NOW CONSIDER PITTSBURGH HIGH ON THEIR LIST FOR THEIR FIRST JOB. EMPLOYERS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE THEIR COMPANIES ONSITE TO TOP TALENT FOR HIGH-DEMAND OCCUPATIONS. INTERVIEWS AND INTERNSHIPS FOLLOWED THESE CRAWLS, AND WE'LL CONTINUE THEM IN 2018. ATTRACTING TALENT IMAGINEPITTSBURGH.COM CONTINUES TO BE ENHANCED AS THE REGION'S TOP DESTINATION FOR CAREER EXPLORATION.

WE'LL USE THE RESULTS TO HELP SHAPE DIGITAL CAREER TOOLS FOR STUDENTS, TEACHERS, GUIDANCE COUNSELORS AND PARENTS, AND TO DESIGN PROGRAMS THAT GIVE TEACHERS FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCES IN HIGH-DEMAND OCCUPATIONS. 909795 664010 265322 THE INFRASTRUCTURE STRATEGY FOCUSES ON BUILDING AND REINFORCING TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS THAT SUPPORT SUSTAINABILITY AND OPPORTUNITY. REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION VISION IN MARCH 2017, THE CONFERENCE RELEASED IMAGINE TRANSPORTATION 2.0 THROUGH ITS REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION ALLIANCE PROGRAM. THE REPORT ENVISIONS HOW OUR REGION CAN OBTAIN A WORLD-CLASS TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IN THE NEXT 10-TO-20 YEARS. THE REPORT IS THE RESULT OF 18 MONTHS OF DATA COLLECTION FROM NEARLY 400 STAKEHOLDERS TO UNDERSTAND REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS THE REGION. IMAGINE TRANSPORTATION 2.0 IS A FULLY INTERACTIVE, DIGITAL PLATFORM THAT RECOMMENDS SEVEN PRINCIPLES TO GUIDE THE REGION'S TRANSPORTATION FUTURE AND "50 IDEAS TO EXPLORE" TO IMPROVE THE SYSTEM AND PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT'S WORKING IN TRANSPORTATION ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND HOW WE CAN IMPROVE AS A REGION. THE RTA ACHIEVED ENDORSEMENT OF THE SEVEN GUIDING PRINCIPLES BY THE SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA COMMISSION, ALL 10 COUNTIES, AND ALMOST 50 STAKEHOLDER ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE REGION THAT WILL HELP TO SHAPE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING IN FUTURE YEARS. FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF THE REPORT, THE CONFERENCE FANNED OUT ACROSS THE 10-COUNTY REGION TO ENGAGE A WIDE VARIETY OF COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS IN A DIALOGUE ABOUT IMAGINE TRANSPORTATION 2.0 AND BEGIN TO CHANGE HOW THE REGION THINKS ABOUT OUR TRANSPORTATION NEEDS AND HOW WE MAKE INVESTMENT DECISIONS.AIR SERVICE COMPETITIVENESS THE CONFERENCE IS COMMITTED TO HELPING BUILD A MOMENTUM THAT WILL ATTRACT EVEN MORE ROBUST AIR SERVICE TO THE REGION. UNDER THE BANNER OF THE PITTSBURGH TRAVEL COOPERATIVE, WE'VE JOINED THE ALLEGHENY COUNTY AIRPORT AUTHORITY, PITTSBURGH TECHNOLOGY COUNCIL AND VISITPITTSBURGH TO RAISE AWARENESS IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT IF WE ARE TO RETAIN AND GAIN MORE SERVICE, WE MUST SUPPORT WHAT WE HAVE.

WE SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATED TO SECURE INITIAL APPROPRIATIONS FUNDING FOR THE UPPER OHIO ENGINEERING & DESIGN WORK, FOLLOWING LAST YEAR'S PASSAGE OF THE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE NATION (WIIN) ACT. THE PASSAGE OF THE WIIN ACT WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY WORKING CLOSELY WITH PARTNERS INCLUDING THE PORT OF PITTSBURGH COMMISSION AND THE GREAT LAKES METRO CHAMBERS COALITION. THE ALLEGHENY CONFERENCE HAS TAKEN A STRONG PUBLIC STAND IN FAVOR OF REFORM OF THE PITTSBURGH WATER AND SEWER AUTHORITY. WE HAVE SUPPORTED THE RESTRUCTURING RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BLUE RIBBON PANEL, WHICH CALL FOR INDEPENDENT GOVERNANCE OF THE PWSA PROTECTED FROM POLITICAL INFLUENCE. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURING THE IMMENSE CHALLENGES FACING THE AGENCY CAN BE ADDRESSED IN THE TRANSFORMATIONAL MANNER REQUIRED, MAKING THE UTILITY AN ASSET TO THE REGION AND ITS FUTURE.ENERGY - ADVANCE ENERGY PORTFOLIO APPROACH AND GRID RELIABILITY BY SECURING BASELINE ENERGY CAPACITY, PROMOTING ACTION ON PUBLIC POLICY AND DEMONSTRATING ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP. 1759319 828160 632832 WE WORKED TO INFLUENCE PROVISIONS IN THE FEDERAL TAX REFORM LEGISLATION AS A MEMBER OF THE GREAT LAKES METRO CHAMBERS COALITION (GLMCC). THESE PROVISIONS INCLUDE THE REDUCTION OF THE CORPORATE TAX RATE TO 21 PERCENT AND ROUGH EQUIVALENCY FOR PASS-THROUGH ENTITIES; IMMEDIATE EXPENSING OF BUSINESS INVESTMENTS; EXTENSION OF THE R&D TAX CREDIT; AND SUPPORT FOR CONTINUATION OF PRIVATE ACTIVITY BONDS. THE GREATER PITTSBURGH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TOOK A CO-LEAD ROLE IN THE GREAT LAKES METRO CHAMBERS COALITION - A NETWORK OF 36 METROPOLITAN CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE ACROSS 12 U.S. STATES AND TWO CANADIAN PROVINCES IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THE GLMCC IS PIONEERING A NEW TYPE OF COLLABORATIVE MODEL BETWEEN FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO DEVELOP THE GROUNDWORK FOR A STRONGER, MORE INTERCONNECTED GREAT LAKES REGION. OUR LEADERSHIP OF THE GLMCC HELPED PASS AND SECURE INITIAL APPROPRIATIONS FUNDING FOR THE WIIN ACT AND ADVANCED POSITIVE PROVISIONS IN THE FEDERAL TAX REFORM LAW - BOTH MENTIONED ABOVE. SINCE 2005 OUR ORGANIZATION HAS LED COMPETEPA, A COALITION OF OVER 130 MEMBERS - INCLUDING NEARLY ALL STATEWIDE AND REGIONAL BUSINESS GROUPS, SMALL BUSINESSES AND FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES. COMPETEPA IS THE STATEWIDE VOICE REPRESENTING THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY ON CORPORATE TAX ISSUES. IN 2017, WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN ADVANCING OUR TOP PUBLIC POLICY PRIORITY FOR THIS COALITION OF "INCREASING THE CAP ON THE NET OPERATING LOSS (NOL) CARRYFORWARD PROVISION WITHIN THE CORPORATE NET INCOME TAX STRUCTURE." WE ACCOMPLISHED OUR TOP STATE POLICY PRIORITY BY SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATING FOR THE PASSAGE OF HISTORIC STATE PENSION REFORM THAT WILL SAVE PENNSYLVANIA UP TO $20 BILLION OVER 30 YEARS. THE LAW ALSO MEETS THE KEY PRINCIPLES THAT WE HAD BEEN ADVOCATING FOR IN A MEANINGFUL SOLUTION. IT ADDRESSES THE EVER INCREASING UNFUNDED PENSION LIABILITY; PROVIDES FOR COST SHARING AND RISK PREDICTABILITY BETWEEN STATE EMPLOYEES AND TAXPAYERS; INCREASES THE OVERALL FUNDING CERTAINTY OF THE RETIREMENT SYSTEMS; AND PROVIDES ADEQUATE RETIREMENT SECURITY FOR BENEFICIARIES OF THE PLANS. 1759319 828160 632832 8538003 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
