Save Our Service! Rally to Win the Transit Funding We Need

April 29 @ 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm

SOS! Stop the cuts! Stop the fare hikes! It’s time to SAVE OUR SERVICE and win transit funding to move us all!!

Devastating cuts of up to 40% of our bus and T service and 62% of ACCESS services have been proposed to take effect in Allegheny County if the Pennsylvania state legislature fails to pass new funding for transit for next year. The impact of these cuts would be staggering- for riders, for our economy and businesses, for our region’s road congestion and air quality. Bus lines are lifelines, and our lifelines are on life support.

Riders, transit workers, and Allegheny County elected officials are standing together to say, “NOT ON OUR WATCH!”

On the first day of Pittsburgh Regional Transit’s first public hearing on the funding crisis, Transit for All PA!, Pittsburghers for Public Transit, and Mobilify Southwestern Pennsylvania are cohosting a rally and press conference outside the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.

Join transit riders and workers, County Executive Sara Innamorato, Pittsburgh Regional Transit CEO Katherine Kelleman, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership, and the Allegheny County Pennsylvania state delegation to show that we are united in the fight for state funding, for the transit service we deserve!
