Back to EpisodesWhat if Pittsburgh's Public Transit Went Away?
Description
Pittsburgh Regional Transit is meeting this week to talk about a proposal that could overhaul our entire local transportation system. Adam Smeltz, reporting for PublicSource, found the agency may increase fares, cut service, and scrap its Bus Line Redesign to address a possible $100 million deficit. He joins us to discuss how we ended up here and whether it’s still possible to stave off changes.
PRT is releasing its official proposal tomorrow at 8:30am. Register here to watch online or catch it in person on the 5th floor of the Heinz 57 Center Downtown.
