Prevent Port Authority of Allegheny County Fare and Service Changes
Sign Now
The proposed fare and service changes will greatly affect the daily lives of all Allegheny County citizens, especially college students commuting to work and/or school. As members of the University of Pittsburgh Commuter Student Association and Duquesne University Commuter Council we are proponents of a strong public transportation system, and we strongly encourage those responsible to find another solution. Many students do not own cars and have tuition and fees for school to worry about. A reduction in service by 150 buses would pose serious problems for them. By cutting service and increasing fares, fewer students will have access to public transportation yet have to pay more for it. This decision will lead to an overall decrease in riders and therefore a decrease in the amount of fares paid. It is a quick fix for a problem that needs a long term solution. We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now to prevent proposed fare and service changes affecting the Port Authority of Allegheny County.

The only bus that comes by my neighborhood and takes me to oakland is going to be eliminated, I can't transfer buses every morning, so I'm hope that my bus wouldn't be eliminated--100.

What are those of us that are participating in the welfare and social security program to work. Are we to quit and go back on welfare and dissability that provides barely enough for one to survive on. What a mess first you cut our food stamps and allowenc

This would never happen in more affluent cities such as Houston or Boston. It is sad to see how the City of Pittsburgh is disintegrating before our very eyes. Between the $52 annual tax, insufficient parking after all these years, sad condition of PAT tra

Public transportation to me is convenient, cost-efficient and a good choice for the air quality of our area. All the 46s are proposed to be cut out in my area which would definitely be a hardship on how to get to work downtown. Port Authority's convenienc
