Public transit is a public good that needs to work for everyone. With PRT’s Bus Line Redesign that proposes changes to nearly every route, every stop, and every schedule, the time is now for transit advocates to support a redesign that works for all. Before you go any further, sign-on to support this vision today:
THE CHEAT SHEET: Use this PPT Cheat Sheet for Reading the Bus Line Redesign (& Share Your Feedback with Us!)
PRT’s Bus Line Redesign proposal is a LOT to consider, with changes to nearly every route, schedule, and bus stop. Thatβs why we at Pittsburghers for Public Transit (PPT) have created a little cheat sheet to help us consider the different ways that this proposed Bus Line Redesign impacts our transit trips.
We encourage everyone to review the PRT Bus Line Redesign Draft Proposal here or join PRT at one of their upcoming pop-ups to learn more and ask questions in person. You can use the Cheat Sheet below to understand how changes will impace your access to friends and neighbors, businesses, and key community destinations. We also encourage you to share your feedback with us to help us assess what we like about this proposal and what we should organize to change.
When reviewing and giving feedback on PRTβs draft redesign, make sure that youβre considering and speaking up on all these points:
- GOOD THINGS ππ What are the good things about the Bus Line Redesign that are important for you and your community to KEEP in the final proposal?
- SERVICE QUALITY ππ How do the proposed Bus Route Frequencies (how often the buses come) and Span (how early and late the buses are being scheduled for on weekdays and weekends) impact you and your community?
- KEY DESTINATIONS ππ What key destinations are being missed by this Bus Line Redesign proposal (eg. housing, healthcare, food access, social services, places of worship, parks, education and childcare etc)?
- COMMUTE TIMES ππ Do you have concerns about the length of trips to get to key destinations in this proposed map?
- ACCESSIBILITY ππ Are there any safety and accessibility issues with bus stops and nearby sidewalks and street crossings to get to destinations from the transit stops?
- OTHER THOUGHTS ππ Do you have any other concerns (particularly equity concerns) or suggestions about the Bus Line Redesign that arenβt captured by the above questions?
