To the right is white text that reads "New Campaign Launch. Better public transit service is possible, necessary, transformative"
Join PPT August 14th to launch the ALLEGHENY COUNTY CAMPAIGN FOR VISIONARY TRANSIT SERVICE! The time is now for a service vision that moves us all.
From Fox Chapel to Brentwood, McKeesport to McKees Rocks, all of us want our communities to be inclusive and vibrant. Public transit gives us a healthy, clean, and affordable way for everyone to get around. Transit can be the connector to economic opportunity, public health, and environmental justice - but we can't get there without a visionary plan for transit service that connects us all.
With our transit agency moving through a process that could redesign every route in our system, and a team of elected officials at the city, county, state and federal level who are transit champions, the time is NOW to visionary service
Join PPT on August 14th to launch our newest organizing effort, the Allegheny County Campaign for Visionary Service .

We want you to join us for the new campaign launch at our Summer Party on August 14th. Better public transit is necessary. It is possible. It would be transformative.

Expanded PRT Customer Service Hours Make it Easier for Riders to Find Out Information and Report Issues
At the start of the summer, PRT moved to expand their digital customer service hours for an additional 12 hours/week (two new hours each weekday and one new hour on Saturday and Sunday). During the new digital customer service hours PRT staff will post service updates on TrueTime and social media, and answer rider questions via the chat feature on the PRT website. In their recent press release, PRT states that this is just the first expansion of digital customer service hours and that riders can expect even more hours by the end of 2024.
