Pittsburgh Regional Transit, formerly known as Port Authority, is hosting two public meetings next month to update people about the Bus Rapid Transit plan connecting Downtown, Uptown and Oakland.
The $291 million project will include 24 new stations, dedicated bus and bike lanes and safety enhancements for pedestrians and bicyclists.
The Downtown part of the project is set to be under way in the first half of 2023, with Uptown being part two of the second half of the year. The Oakland phase of the project is reportedly to begin in 2024.
PRT has been busy as they started a $6.7 million project on rehabilitation for the South Busway, paving and reconstruction, earlier this month.
The meetings are scheduled on Tuesday, August 2nd at 6 p.m.
and Thursday, August 11th at noon. To sign up to attend or for more information, visit Ride PRT dot org slash BRT.
