Allegheny County Controller Audit of Port Authority
This morning the Port Authority of Allegheny County released a copy of the Allegheny County Controller's report (pdf) on satisfaction with public transit in Pittsburgh. They also posted their response to the recommendations in the report. Note that the survey, which was distributed in person to riders and was available on the Controller's web site, was taken during the June service cuts with possibilities of further cuts in September that did not happen. If you want to see the frustration that transit riders have, read the comments section at the end. The uncertain future of routes means an uncertain future for people's jobs.

One stat that blew me away was how 66% of respondents listed bus/rail as their main means of transportation. That is a lot of people who the service cuts will have a severe effect on.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the "Comments from the Public" section is a great read. Sometimes it's easy to forget that public transit is vital for so many people.
