Whether you live in McKeesport or McKees Rocks, the Hill District or the South Hills, our public transit system needs to work for everyone. 

PRT's Bus Line Redesign proposes the most substantial changes to our transit system that we've seen in our lifetimes. 100,000 riders and workers who use the system every day will be impacted. Some communities will get cut out from service, while others will receive new access. With changes this big, it is critical that PRT do deep and sustained public outreach and have a process for incorporating what people say.

We encourage everyone to review the PRT Bus Line Redesign Draft Proposal here or join PRT at one of their upcoming pop-ups to learn more and ask questions in person. You can use our Cheat Sheet to understand how changes will impact your access to friends and neighbors, businesses, and key community destinations.

We also encourage you to share your feedback with us to help us assess what we like about this proposal and what we should organize to change.

Every year, our grassroots union engages in a collaborative planning process to chart a path for our growth in the coming year. We brainstorm ideas for our internal organizational development to create goals for how we support our members and build up the PPT family. We also brainstorm ideas for campaigns we can take on to win improvements to benefit transit riders and our communites – things like making fares more affordable, improving service, or building better sidewalks and more affordable housing.

PPT Members! Be sure to take a look at this draft and give your input today. The membership will vote on a final version in December.

The transit budget shortfall in Philly alone will result in $254.7 million in state and local tax revenue losses – affecting suppliers, too, in over a dozen counties across PA. That’s money that funds education, social services, economic development and infrastructure all across the Commonwealth. Further delays will lead to similar losses in transit systems throughout the state.
