Together, we’re working to strengthen transit, enhance the rider experience, and build a safer, more reliable system for the communities we serve.

Transit connects our communities to jobs, schools, healthcare + each other.
Working with regional partners, we helped bring home nearly $83M for new T cars. And yesterday I met with @PGHtransit about what we can deliver next.
Pittsburgh deserves transit that works for everyone.
