Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) has been hard at work redesigning the bus network, and they want your feedback to help make it even better! 🚍
This redesign is a crucial part of the NEXTransit Long-Range Plan launched in 2021, focusing on improving service, expanding connections, and prioritizing investments in disadvantaged communities. By listening to your input, PRT is shaping a network that better reflects the needs of Allegheny County’s residents.
What’s New in the Draft Network?
The draft network, developed based on public feedback, includes:
- Improved service to connect more people across the region
- Strategic investments in underserved and disadvantaged communities
- Updated routes to reflect changing travel patterns and evolving needs
Public engagement for this phase of the project began on September 30, 2024, and will continue through January 31, 2025.
