But riders still need to continue organizing to win our demands. Sign the petition, pledge to #VoteTransit, and donate to PPT to keep our organizing strong.

PPT's own election season is getting off the ground! Nominations are open for PPT members who want to run for a 2-year term on our Board of Directors. Nominate yourself or an inspirational leader before July 5th.
PPT operates as a truly member-led organization, and that sets us apart from other non-profits. Our membership elects (and runs for) our Board of Directors, develops and votes to approve our yearly campaign plan. Members run PPT's research, communications, organizing and accessibility committees, which develop and implement our winningl campaigns.
We are looking for a new round of leaders who understand the importance of our work for transit justice in Allegheny County, and are looking to get more involved in directing the course of our campaigns, our communications work, and organizing actions. Nominations are open until July 5th. Voting will run from July 12th-31st. PPT members are all those who support the Transit Bill of Rights, have participated in a PPT action or meeting, and have paid dues of at least $2.75 cents within the last year (the cost of a single PRT fare).
