The Philadelphia Dispatch Archive
The Traffic Club of Philadelphia's official newsletter is The Philadelphia Dispatch.
The newsletter contains stories about major Club initiatives, recaps from recent events, and news about individual Club members. Named following a contest among Club members, The Philadelphia Dispatch was published twice a year through March 2009 and is now on temporary hiatus.
For many years, the Club's newsletter was called The Traffic Messenger. Debuting in 1927, The Traffic Messenger faithfully chronicled Club events, elections and member comings and goings.
