Rider organizing brings us closer to the world we want to see "When we expand public transit, we expand what is possible for future generations. New weekend service on the 93 does that.” - Teaira Collins, PPT Member, rider on the 93 Hazelwood We've always known that transit is essential for riders. But this pandemic has shown us that that we're all reliant on transit--and how it keeps the riders moving that keep us fed, who care for our sick and do the essential work that keeps us all alive. 2020 has been a tough year. But progress is still possible: this past week, Port Authority began running new and permanent weekend service on the 20, 22, 29, 36, 39, 60, 74, 93 routes! This decision meant victory for 6 communities that have organized with PPT over the past three years, but we need your support to keep up the momentum. Your donation to PPT's year end fundraiser says that you believe in the power of people, and that you believe that together we can with affordable, expanded transit for all. Support transit towards transformation! Now, nearly all Local routes in Allegheny County have weekend service. This is truly transformative, but it would not have happened if riders had not spoken up about the importance of transit. This year, for our year-end fundraiser, PPT is telling the story of the campaigns and the people who fueled them. We hope that you will join us in supporting this work, because transformation does not come without being organized and making demands. Stay tuned this month to hear stories from neighbors like Ms. Teaira, Ms. Nora, Ms. Terry, and Ms. Cindi who stood up with PPT to transform public transit - and won!
