County Executive Innamorato invited PPT to co-lead her transportation transition committee, and we helped promote what was the largest community outreach effort in Allegheny County's history. Now that the County Executive has released her plans, PPT is going to continue working with her office and our allies to push for the things that riders have been calling for.

See our organizing goals for her County Executive, and read her 100 Days plan in our new blog:

Tomorrow morning more than 100 transit riders, transit workers, and allies from across our state will rally in Harrisburg to continue pushing for the first increase to transit service funding in PA in more than 10 years. 

Even if you can't join us in-person at the rally, you can still help show that transit is an important issue that we're willing to fight for. RSVP to join tomorrow's livestream and share it with your network to spread tthe word

Our 2024 PPT Organizer/Activist Spring Training will hold workshops, panels, speakers, discussions and fun social time to grow our network’s skills and build the intersectional movement for justice that we’re involved in.  So far, proposed topics include:

• Affordable housing and transit, what’s the connection and opportunity?
• Disability Justice and making public transit actually accessible
• Public Speaking: how to talk about transit in a way that inspires
• Data for transit justice: how research can grow our campaigns
And more!

Its springtime! And the perfect time to kick our transit just organizing up a notch by honing our existing skills, introducing new ones, and growing the network of leaders doing this work. PPT is hosting a day-long training on May 4th to do just that. AND WE WANT YOU INVOLVED!
