Park and Ride News for P12 Riders
Port Authority, in partnership with PennDOT and Plum Borough, will open a new 64-space park and ride lot on Monday, December 16, 2013. The lot is located on Route 286 at New Texas Road in Plum and is served by existing inbound and outbound stops on the P12 Holiday Park Flyer bus route. The new lot features three spaces for people with disabilities and is paved, striped and lighted.
Port Authority would like to recognize State Sen. Jim Brewster and State Rep. Joseph Markosek for their support and assistance in moving this project forward.
This lot joins Alpine Village as a park and ride option for P12 riders. P12 riders should also be advised of the permanent closure of the Holiday Park VFD lot, which has been closed for the past year due to construction on the VFD building. The Holiday Park VFD recently notified Port Authority that it does not wish to continue the lease agreement for a park and ride on its property. The VFD has been very supportive of transit over the years and although the closing of this lot is beyond Port Authority’s control, we apologize for any inconvenience that it may cause.
Port Authority staff will continue to work to identify additional park and ride opportunities for riders in the area.
For more information on the new lot, view our Park and Ride webpage and select Plum Park and Ride from the map.

Real-Time Info Pilot Launches for P1 Bus Route
Starting today, riders will be able to view real-time
locations for the P1 East Busway-All Stops bus route through Port Authority’s
website.
This is the initial testing and demonstration phase of Port Authority’s real-time arrivals system. This initial phase will be limited to only the P1 route and only those buses on regular route (not detoured).
We expect to begin installing additional equipment and rolling out real-time capability to additional routes in early 2014. The project will proceed in phases, with a goal of having most of the bus system covered by 2015. Additional real-time system features will also be introduced in phases. For example, open data for developers and tracking of detoured routes will be available at a later date.
Real-time for Port Authority’s T system will be implemented separately since our light rail vehicles do not currently use GPS-enabled signs and annunciators – instead, a light rail vehicle’s position is announced when the vehicle passes over certain points on the tracks.
Currently, real-time arrival information for the P1 is only available online, but starting next month, Port Authority will install electronic countdown signs at select locations along the Martin Luther King Jr. East Busway.
To view arrival information for the P1 East Busway-All Stops route, please visit Port Authority's real-time website hosted by Clever Devices.
For questions or assistance, please contact Port Authority Customer Service at 412-442-2000 (TTY 412-231-7007).

Service Changes Take Effect Sunday, Sept.1
Schedules for approximately 15 Port Authority bus routes will be adjusted effective Sunday, September 1. Port Authority regularly adjusts schedules four times a year.
September’s service changes include the restoration of a previously eliminated route – the former 55 Jefferson, which will now be called 55 Glassport. Restoring the route will help ensure riders in this part of the Mon Valley will have access to public transportation, as they currently face losing transit service with the uncertain future of the Heritage Worklink van transportation program.
Restoration of the 55 Glassport was achieved within the Authority’s current budget, which did not require a fare increase or other service reductions.
Ensuring Mon Valley residents maintain access to public transportation became a community-wide concern, and a solution was achieved thanks to the cooperative efforts of numerous local officials, including County Executive Rich Fitzgerald, State Senators Jay Costa and Jim Brewster, State Representatives Marc Gergely, Bill Kortz, Paul Costa and Harry Readshaw, and Allegheny County Council Member Bob Macey.
Information on the changes, including links to new schedules, is now posted on our Service Changes page.

Updated: Next Phase of Warrington Avenue Work Begins Monday, August 5
On Monday, August 5, contractors will begin the next phase of roadway
rehabilitation on Warrington Avenue between Beltzhoover and Arlington avenues,
shifting work from the inbound side of the street to the outbound
side.
Auto traffic detours for this phase of work will remain the same. Traffic traveling toward Downtown Pittsburgh will use Warrington Avenue. Traffic traveling in the opposite direction will be detoured using Industry Street.
Additionally, roadway construction will impact the intersection of Warrington Avenue and Haberman Avenue around-the-clock from 6 a.m. Monday until the evening of Friday, August 9. During this time, Warrington Avenue will be reduced to one lane at this intersection, with flaggers controlling traffic.
Port Authority’s bus detours will change with this new phase of work. A long-term detour for the 43 Bailey, 44 Knoxville, 48 Arlington and 54 North Side-Oakland-South Side routes will go into effect starting Monday at 8 a.m. and continue around-the-clock until the afternoon of Friday, September 13. View information on this detour.
In addition to the long-term bus detour, an additional detour will be in place from 6 a.m. Monday to late afternoon Friday, August 9 due to the work at the intersection of Warrington Avenue and Haberman Avenue. View information on this detour.
This phase of work is estimated to take approximately six weeks to complete. Following this phase, there will be some final rail repairs. The entire project is expected to end in mid-September.
Warrington Avenue is partially owned by Port Authority as it contains embedded light rail tracks formerly used by the Allentown line.
For more information, contact Port Authority Customer Service at 412-442-2000 (TTY 412-231-7007).

Wabash Tunnel Reopens July 27
The Wabash Tunnel will reopen Saturday, July 27, at 6 a.m. after a long-term closure for repairs to its gates and traffic control systems.
The reopened tunnel will provide another option for motorists during the 17-day outbound Liberty Tunnel closure and two-year closure of outbound West Carson Street.
Motorists should be advised of a change in the tunnel’s operating hours. The tunnel will no longer be open overnight (from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.). The change in operating hours was adopted by Port Authority’s Board in April following an extensive police and safety review.
All other operating hours, including HOV-2 restrictions during peak periods, remain unchanged and are posted on our Wabash Tunnel webpage.
Inbound access to the tunnel was closed in late October when a tractor trailer accident damaged the gates that allow Port Authority to safely control the direction of auto traffic. The tunnel was closed to outbound traffic earlier this year so that the gates and traffic control software could be replaced, but repair progress was hampered by additional accidents and procurement delays. Minor software-related work remains, but can be completed without significant impact to tunnel traffic.
The Wabash Tunnel provides a shortcut for motorists between Route 51 and the South Side. Port Authority bus and light rail routes do not use the tunnel.

Have You Heard?
Port Authority is trying new forms of advertising to help generate more revenue
for bus and T operations.
We recently began testing onboard audio ads at five stop locations in Downtown, Oakland and the South Side. These ads are loaded into our buses’ existing announcement system. When the bus passes one of the five stops, a brief audio ad is played.
We understand you may not be used to hearing ads on the bus, but new and different forms of advertising are tools we can use to support our system without raising fares or cutting services to save money.
These audio ads are made possible by a partnership with Commuter Advertising, a company that has successfully introduced this kind of advertising at transit agencies in Cincinnati, Jacksonville and other cities. Commuter Advertising makes money by selling these ads and shares a portion of the revenue with Port Authority. Since these ads use our existing audio systems, there is no cost to Port Authority for this program.
We have a lot of new advertising ideas that we’ll be rolling out over the next year, like website ads. We’re also looking at unused space at stations and along our rights-of-way as possible advertising opportunities.
If you’d like to learn more about the different kinds of advertising we offer, check out our Ad Products page. Or if you’d like to share your thoughts on these ads, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Schedule & Stop Changes Take Effect June 16
More than 70 Port Authority bus routes will see changes effective Sunday,
June 16 due to both regular quarterly schedule adjustments and a new effort to
consolidate bus stops.
Schedules for nearly 45 bus routes will be adjusted starting that day. Port Authority regularly adjusts schedules four times a year.
Included in the June schedule adjustments are routing and schedule tweaks to the bus routes affected by the ongoing weight restriction on Swissvale’s Kenmawr Bridge, as well as changes to better serve Bedford Avenue in the Hill District.
Along with regular quarterly routing and scheduling adjustments, Port Authority will also begin the first of several phases of bus stop consolidations next month. Approximately 430 stops will be eliminated effective June 16. The stops chosen for elimination are ones that see little to no use.
Details on the service changes and links to new schedules are now posted on our Service Changes page.
Paper schedules will be available prior to the changes.
For questions, call Customer Service at 412-442-2000 (TTY 412-231-7007).

Wabash Tunnel Repairs Start Monday, Requiring Multi-Week Closure
The Wabash Tunnel will close completely for 3-4 weeks beginning Monday, April 15 at 6 a.m. so that Port Authority contractors may begin installation of four new traffic control gates. This work will help restore inbound access to the tunnel, which has been closed since the fall.
Inbound access to the tunnel was closed in late October when a tractor trailer accident damaged the gates that allow Port Authority to safely control the direction of auto traffic. Since then, efforts to repair the damage and reopen the tunnel to inbound motorists have been hampered by two additional accidents and delays in procuring replacement parts.
Completion of repairs and restoration of all traffic access is expected by the end of May.
The Wabash Tunnel provides a shortcut for motorists between Route 51 and the South Side. No Port Authority transit service operates through the tunnel.
Port Authority apologizes for the inconvenience caused by the delayed repair efforts and thanks tunnel users for their patience.

Warrington Avenue Rehab Resumes Monday, March 18
Port Authority and the City of Pittsburgh will resume rehab work on Warrington Avenue on Monday, March 18 beginning at 7 a.m. This work will impact local auto traffic, bus routes, parking and sidewalks, and is expected to be completed August 30, 2013.
Detours to local auto traffic will be in place around-the-clock and signs will be posted to guide traffic. Local bus routes will also be detoured during this project.
Bus detour notices will be posted at www.portauthority.org under "Detours" once available.
Work will occur on one side of the street at a time and in sections, with detours shifting as the area of impact changes.

Updated: Bus Routes Detour for S. Highland Bridge Closure
Two Port Authority bus routes will detour for approximately six months starting Monday, March 4 due to the closure of the S. Highland Avenue Bridge in Shadyside.
The 71B Highland Park and 75 Ellsworth will detour beginning at approximately 9 a.m. that day. Detours will continue around-the-clock as the bridge is demolished, removed and replaced by a new structure. Buses are expected to resume regular routing around September 10, 2013. During the detour, the 71B will use Shady Avenue instead of S. Highland Avenue through Shadyside, and 75 will detour off Ellsworth between East Liberty Busway Station and College Avenue.
Although the S. Highland Avenue Bridge spans the East Busway, busway service will not be immediately impacted. It is expected that several weekend closures of the busway will occur later this year as the bridge project progresses. Details on those closures will be announced separately as they occur.
Please note: As of March 1, the detour has been slightly changed from its original routing. Use the link below to view the updated details.
View complete details on 71B and 75 detours, including bus stop changes.
