A Foundation for Fare Equity
In Allegheny County, we have a transit fare system in which low-income people are paying more for same service. We call on the Port Authority to enact these three simple policies to build a more equitable, efficient transit system:
- Reduce cash fares to $2.50, to match CONNECT Card fares
- Make all transfers free
- Implement fare capping (CONNECT card automatically converts to a weekly/monthly/yearly pass when the cost of the pass is paid in single uses)
