Whether you're black or white, whether you live in the North Hills or the South Hills, McKeesport or McKees Rocks, everyone deserves access to opportunity. Public transit gives us a healthy, clean, and affordable way for everyone to get around and can be that link. After decades of decline in our transit service and the possibility of every single transit line changing during Pittsburgh Regional Transit's Bus Line Redesign, Pittsburghers for Public decided that the time for a big vision of what transit service can be is now.
