Let me know your thoughts: Pittsburgh Regional Transit Funding

Survey for the 37^th Senatorial District

Recent news articles have shed light on a growing concern among our friends and neighbors in Allegheny County and surrounding areas who utilize public transportation: the need for additional Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) funding.

With a projected $100M deficit in fiscal year 2026, PRT has stated it needs a $117M infusion from the commonwealth, which is a stark difference from the $40M proposed in the governor’s budget.

PRT has suggested if it does not receive the requested funding, fares may be raised ($2.75 to $3.00), bus and rail routes will be cut, reserves will have to be used, more transfer requirements might be needed, and/or late night service could be eliminated.

As budget negotiations are underway, and as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I am eager to hear your thoughts:

Do you support state investment for PRT?(Required)

I support an investment of $117M from the state to assist PRT.

I support Gov. Josh Shapiro’s $40M in the budget to assist PRT.

I do not support additional funding to assist PRT.

I am undecided on funding for PRT.
