The conversation will be active through August 31; at that time, Port Authority will review the ideas and consider them.<br /><br />The GPS-based tracking system is currently available on eight bus routes and additional bus routes will be added throughout the year. Port Authority will begin testing similar technology on its light rail system in 2015.<br /><br />Riders can view vehicle-tracking information at <a href="http://realtime.portauthority.org/">realtime.portauthority.org</a>. <br />Port Authority of Allegheny Countyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14087210880576559477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899602846859544461.post-31613325079317358232014-08-01T08:21:00.002-04:002014-08-01T08:21:48.761-04:00August 2-3 Partial East Busway Closure<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Port Authority was recently presented an award for its new ConnectCard video during the 35th annual Telly Awards. The 60-second video, produced for Port Authority by Wrecking Crew Media, featured the Pirate Parrot riding the T and using his ConnectCard to get to the ballpark.<br /><br />Port Authority ran the video as part of its year-long sponsorship with the Pittsburgh Pirates to promote the ConnectCard. Port Authority and the Pirates have partnered on a number of promotions since the ConnectCard was launched, including this season's <a href="http://pittsburgh.pirates.mlb.com/pit/ticketing/connect_card.jsp?partnerId=D7L9H661-14R" target="_blank">Connect and Save </a>promotion.<br /><br />The Telly Awards honor outstanding local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs.

<br />
<a href="http://www.portauthority.org/paac/apps/DetoursDNN/pgDetours.asp?mode=1&MemoID=9209">Nineteen bus routes</a> will be detoured all day Saturday, June 14 for the Pride in the Street event and concert that will close portions of Liberty Avenue and Smithfield Street. <br />
<br />
On Sunday, June 15, multiple detours will be in place for the day-long <a href="http://www.portauthority.org/paac/apps/DetoursDNN/pgDetours.asp?mode=1&MemoID=9210">Pride Fest event</a> and the <a href="http://www.portauthority.org/paac/apps/DetoursDNN/pgDetours.asp?mode=1&MemoID=9211">Pride Awareness March </a>around midday. Altogether about 40 Port Authority bus routes will be impacted that day. <br />
<br />
Additionally, riders should keep in mind that schedule changes go into effect on light rail service and several bus routes starting Sunday.<br />
<br />
Please allow for extra time when using detoured routes.<br />
<br />

Port Authority of Allegheny County routinely adjusts schedules four times per year.<br />
<br />
Major adjustments include an overall increase in weekend service on the light rail system. Port Authority’s Subway Local limited service will be eliminated in favor of increased weekend frequency on the Red and Blue lines. An additional late-night weekday trip will also be added on Red Line.<br />
<br />
Adjustments are based on data, such as passenger counts by stop and time, as well as feedback from operators and riders. Port Authority intends to make further system improvements later this year as additional operating funding goes into effect.<br />
<br />

Thanks to more than 2,400 participants, Port Authority has collected more than 300 ideas to formulate a vision of what a modern transit system would look like for Allegheny County.<br />
<br />
This Friday, June 13, Forward Thinking is wrapping up, but that doesn’t mean that the conversation is over. Later this year, Port Authority will give the community more opportunities to weigh in and participate in shaping our future. We are looking to the public to continue this conversation even after Forward Thinking ends.<br />
<br />
Port Authority will be taking your comments and using them to help make future decisions on projects to enhance the rider experience and make the system more user-friendly. We’re committed to a new vision for Port Authority that is more transparent, accessible and modern.<br />

The P1 East Busway-All Stops and P3 East Busway-Oakland bus routes will be detoured during the closure.<br />
<br />
The busway will be closed between Port Authority’s East Liberty bus garage and the Neville Street ramp from Friday, June 6 at 8 p.m. until end of service Sunday, June 8. The busway will reopen for Monday morning’s commute. <br />
<br />
The P1 and P3 will not serve Negley or East Liberty stations during the closure but will instead serve nearby temporary stops. Riders should allow for extra travel time during the detour.<br />
<br />
Please note that Port Authority's real-time vehicle tracking cannot currently display detours. Therefore the P1 and P3 will not be tracked along the detoured portion of their routes during the busway closure. <br />
<br />
The pedestrian bridge and staircase at Negley Station have been closed since October 2007 due to deteriorating conditions. A separate entrance ramp provides access to the station from Negley Avenue. <br />

Washington Transit Tunnel will be closed for rail maintenance all day Saturday, May 31 and Sunday, June 1. During the closure, light rail service and several bus routes will be detoured. <br />
<br />
Red and Blue line service will detour in both directions via Allentown, bypassing Station Square. Special rail shuttle service will operate between Station Square, Downtown Pittsburgh and the North Shore. Riders must transfer from the Red or Blue line to the rail shuttle for Station Square service. Delays of around 10 minutes should be expected due to the detour. <br />
<br />
Seven Port Authority bus routes will be detoured inbound via Arlington and Warrington avenues and outbound via the Wabash Tunnel, with minor temporary stop changes resulting from the detour.<br />
<br />
All riders using detoured service should allow for extra travel time. <br />

<br />
The detour will be in effect all day Saturday, May 17 and Sunday, May 18, with regular routing to resume with Monday morning’s commute.<br />
<br />
Red Line service will detour via the Overbrook line (along the Blue Line’s routing) between Overbrook Junction/Willow and South Hills Junction. Local rail shuttles will operate between Overbrook Junction and Dormont Junction, bus shuttles between Dormont Junction and Potomac Station and local rail shuttles will operate between Potomac and South Hills Junction. <br />
<br />
Riders should allow for extra time when traveling on detoured service.<br />
<br />
In some cases, riders may wish to travel in the opposite direction then transfer to service in their intended direction in order to minimize transfers. For example, a rider heading into Downtown from Arlington Stop may wish to ride outbound on the rail shuttle, then transfer once at Overbrook Junction/Willow to inbound Blue Line or detoured Red Line. <br />

Washington Transit Tunnel will be closed to buses for part of the day Sunday, May 11 so that Port Authority may conduct rail maintenance.<br />
<br />
The closure will be in effect from the morning’s start of service until about 1 p.m.<br />
<br />
This work has been rescheduled from May 10.<br />
<br />
During the closure, affected bus routes will be detoured inbound via Allentown and outbound via the Wabash Tunnel. Riders should allow for extra travel time due to the detour.<br />
<br />
T service will still use the tunnel but will single-track in the affected area during this time, with all inbound service using the outbound platforms at South Hills Junction and Station Square. Outbound T service will remain regular route during this time. Delays of around five to eight minutes may occur due to single-tracking. <br />
<br />

Additionally, extra service and extended hours will be available on the East Busway, West Busway, inclines and light rail system on Sunday morning to assist participants traveling to the marathon start line.<br />
<br />
More than 50 Port Authority bus routes will be detoured throughout the city during the full marathon on Sunday, May 4. Detours will begin with start of service and are expected to last until about 3 p.m. All routes will remain on detour until this time regardless of when local streets reopen. During the marathon, riders should anticipate delays and allow for extra time when traveling.<br />
<br />
In Downtown, buses will be rerouted to serve stops near Steel Plaza T station, where riders may transfer to the T for free. Additionally, routes normally serving both Squirrel Hill and Oakland will not serve Oakland during the marathon, but a free shuttle will transport riders between the two neighborhoods<br />
<br />
On Sunday, light rail service will begin around 4 a.m. and both inclines will open early at 5 a.m. Early morning trips will be added on the East and West busways.<br />
<br />
