Transit riders and local citizens are invited to share their vision for the future of public transportation by visiting Port Authority’s new community engagement website, Forward Thinking, located at http://paac.mindmixer.com.
The
site presents a variety of questions on topics including capital projects,
barriers to transit use, and accessibility for seniors and riders with
disabilities. Participants can share their thoughts or weigh in on ideas
submitted by others.
Also
participating in the site discussion are local officials and Port Authority
leadership, including CEO Ellen McLean, Allegheny County Executive Rich
Fitzgerald and Port Authority Board members Sen. Jim Brewster, Rep. Dom Costa
and John Tague.
The
site will be active through June 13 at minimum. The site launch also coincides with this week’s Urban Land Institute (ULI) advisory
panel on public transportation. The ULI panel will be focusing on strategies
for improving transit, interviewing local officials and stakeholders, and
presenting its recommendations at the end of the week.
Riders
and community members who do not have internet access are invited to share
their vision of a modern public transportation system by mailing their ideas
to:
