The House Transportation Committee is meeting TODAY to decide the future of PA transit. They need to hear from YOU right now saying that we need improved transit access.
Write these Legislators to speak up for expanding transit funding.
Today, local governments cannot enact local taxes or fees to raise funds for public transportation initiatives. And with permanently-changed travel patterns since the pandemic, ridership and therefore revenue to maintain current service is facing a major cliff.
As a result of these restrictions, Pittsburgh Regional Transit does not qualify for certain streams of federal transportation dollars. All transit agencies are similarly facing major cuts to service and fare increases without quick action from the state government to ensure stable operating funds.
