Mon Valley residents who utilize the services of the Port Authority of Allegheny County are being encouraged to attend one of many community meetings where upcoming transit projects and programs “that will help shape the future of public transit in our region” will be discussed.
The meetings will be held over the next few months, and one of them will be in McKeesport.
“Public Transit: A Community Discussion” will focus on a variety of topics ranging from the Port Authority’s use of technology to fare policy to long-range planning, spokesman Adam Brandolph said. Residents will be encouraged to provide input and ask questions, he added.
“Our goal is to engage communities while it’s still early on for many of these topics so we can get a better sense of the direction our stakeholders want us to go,” PAT CEO Katharine Kelleman said. “We felt it was important to hold these get-togethers now so we can talk about these issues before we make any major decisions.”
