PPT is powered by our membership! We are everyday people who care about our transit system and neighbors. Will you join PPT as a member today?
Meet PPT Member Connor Chapman! Connor plays a huge part in PPT’s Organizing Committee and our campaign for better bus stops. Hear from Connor what it means to be an active member of PPT:
“My name is Connor Chapman, I’m a PPT member and volunteer on our Organizing Committee. Transit justice happens through PPT’s committees, and I’ve seen it happen in the organizing committee’s campaign for equitable transit infrastructure. Access to quality bus shelters and sidewalks allows transit riders to feel safe, dignified, and valued.
Working closely with members of PPT’s Accessibility Committee, our organizing committee members developed tools and empowered our communities to audit city bus shelters to make sure that the private companies that provide most bus shelters in Pittsburgh are meeting their obligations to the city and its residents. At the same time, PPT’s Organizing committee is advancing transit justice by helping relocate dozens of ‘phantom shelters’ – bus shelters with no bus stops – to some of the communities that need them most. By redistributing these shelters, we fundamentally shape the future of our communities.
As PPT members, we are the driving force behind these changes. By joining our organizing committee, you can play a crucial role in shaping the future of transit justice in Pittsburgh. Your involvement can help ensure that all transit riders in our city have access to safe, dignified, and reliable public transportation. We rely on the support of dues-paying PPT members and volunteers like you to make this possible. I urge you to become an active member of PPT, join a committee, and help us shape our transit future.”
