Public Transit

Policy Committee    March 7, 2022

The House Democratic Policy Committee alongside Representatives Austin Davis and Sara Innamorato held a tour and roundtable discussion about the state of mass transit in the Pittsburgh region. The tour and roundtable focused on the Allegheny County Port Authority, the region’s mass transit authority, and showcased the state of public transit in the region and what lawmakers can do to strengthen it.

Lawmakers rode public transit around the city to learn about the role the buses and rails in Pittsburgh play in the lives of those who live in the region.
