Additional information can be found at: https://rideprt.org/funding-crisis
PRT needs a $117 million infusion of state funding beginning FY2026– with compounding annual increases – to support current service levels for the next decade. This would allow PRT to cover expenses and account for rising costs. Absent new funding, the only way we're able to make meaningful changes to narrow the funding gap is to cut service and increase fares.
The impact of the proposed service cuts would be felt throughout Allegheny County as reliable options for everyday travel to school, work, medical appointments, and other critical destinations are greatly diminished. The cuts would impact thousands of workers – including healthcare professionals, educators, service industry employees, office workers, and more – who rely on transit to get to their jobs. Essential services, including hospitals, universities, restaurants, and offices, would struggle to staff their operations. Seniors and people with disabilities could lose critical access to healthcare. Students could face new challenges getting to school. And small businesses, major employers, and regional economic development would all suffer.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.
