Groveton Community Meeting July 29
Since September of 2014, Groveton and Moon residents, bus drivers, and transit supporters have worked together to make the case for bus service in these transit deserts. And now Port Authority bus service is coming back to Groveton! The 20 Kennedy route has been extended to the community on weekdays and the service will begin on September 8th. This is a huge victory for all of us who worked so hard to ensure our voices were heard! But this victory is only partial, and we must continue to work on getting service in Moon.
Please join the Groveton committee and Pittsburghers for Public Transit for a community meeting to learn about the bus service that will come back to the neighborhood and to discuss the next steps for the campaign.
WHEN: Wednesday July 29th, 5:30-7:00 pm
WHERE: Groveton Community Building, 511 Groveton Drive, Coraopolis, PA 15108
Questions? Call 412-216-9659

Residents in Moon and Groveton are getting together to call for adequate bus service in their neighborhoods! They have held community meetings, met with elected officials Matt Smith, Mark Mustio, Nick Kotik, and Tom Baker, met with Port Authority staff, and spoken at county council and Port Authority board meetings.
