Transit riders release a new report to give the state of public transit in the City of Pittsburgh and outline steps for the City to improve it
Public transportation is a lifeline for tens of thousands of City of Pittsburgh residents. City Council representatives along with Mayor Gainey’s administration have an important but often overlooked role to play in ensuring accessible, quality public transit across all City neighborhoods.
On Wednesday, February 8th at 1 pm, join Pittsburghers for Public Transit (PPT) for a press conference to release our new report, “Representing Our Routes: The State of Public Transit and What the City of Pittsburgh Can Do to Improve It.” Representing our Routes will provide an in-depth view of what transit looks like for constituents in each of Pittsburgh’s different City Council Districts using data and will highlight personal stories from riders. The report will also identify ways in which City Councilmembers can support high quality, reliable transit in their districts, and can enact policies laid out in the Pittsburgh 100 Day Transit Platform, now adopted into Mayor Gainey’s Transition Plan.
