September, 2006 1 INTRODUCTION The Eastern Corridor Transit Study Transitional Analysis to Locally Preferred Alternatives (ECTS-TA) was sponsored by the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC), Westmoreland County Transit Authority (WCTA), Allegheny County and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) to advance the results of the earlier Eastern Corridor Transit Study (ECTS) toward implementation of one or more transit investments. 1.1 STUDY HISTORY (ECTS) The ECTS, sponsored by the Port Authority of Allegheny County (PAAC), the SPC and WCTA, was a multi-corridor Major Investment Study completed in December of 2003 that identified the public transportation needs and community concerns in an area bounded by Pittsburgh’s Golden Triangle in the west, Greensburg in the east, the Allegheny River to the north and the Monongahela River to the south (see Figure 1-1). As part of the effort to systematically identify transit solutions to the region’s transportation needs, an extensive public outreach campaign was conducted to allow the public, stakeholders and elected officials to participate in the definition of those needs. The result of this process was a Statement of Needs for the study area1. 1 ECTS Statement of Needs: 1. Improve transit choices in the Study Corridor – Provide more rapid transit service and choices in the study area, inclusive of community circulator routes within neighborhoods and improved connections to through routes. Improve access to Oakland from the Airport and other locations in the corridor. Consider serving areas beyond the study corridor (e.g. Pittsburgh International Airport, Cranberry) and improve service and connections to developing areas such as the Waterfront (Homestead), Monroeville, RIDC and Penn Township. Provide more park-and-ride lots for convenient access to both fixed guideway transit and fixed-route bus service. 2. Improve the quality of service and amenities at station stops and transfer points – Provide more direct and more efficient links between the suburbs, urban areas and activity centers. Lengthen transit service periods and provide more frequent service to allow more flexibility to access jobs and recreational activities during non-business hours. Upgrade transit stops with sufficient seating areas, protection from the elements and visually aesthetic designs. Provide better information about transit service routes, transfer points and intermodal connections including those between service providers. 3. Preserve, protect and utilize existing transportation resources – Identify a mechanism to preserve rail rights-of- way within the study corridor and region. Improve transit service and access in the Allegheny Valley through the use of an underutilized transportation facility (e.g. Allegheny Valley Railroad) to accommodate transit service to areas in Lawrenceville, Oakmont and New Kensington. Provide dedicated bus lanes and/or transit prioritization to speed up service between areas in Westmoreland and Allegheny

  • Project Purpose and Need Statement June 2019
    Norfolk Southern Railway Company Pittsburgh Vertical Clearance Projects Project Purpose and Need Statement June 2019 INTRODUCTION: These proposed projects are railway improvement projects on the Pittsburgh and Fort Wayne Rail Lines (together referred to as the Pittsburgh Line), owned and operated by Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NSR). The proposed projects consist of addressing freight capacity and delay constraints through the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The Pittsburgh Line serves rail freight traffic in interstate commerce and operates as a primary link through Pittsburgh between Chicago and the New York/New Jersey commercial markets. NSR is a common carrier and the Pittsburgh Line forms a critical component of NSR’s route between Chicago and the east coast, carrying a variety of commodities, both hazardous material such as chlorine, anhydrous ammonia, hydrogen fluoride, crude oil, and ethanol, as well as nonhazardous materials like coal, auto parts and finished vehicles, lumber, agricultural products, and intermodal containers and trailers. The six overhead clearance projects [North Avenue Bridge, Pittsburgh (PC-1.60); Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge, Pittsburgh (PC-1.82); Columbus Avenue Bridge, Pittsburgh (PC-2.17); Ohio Connecting (OC) Bridge Flyover, Pittsburgh (PC-3.38); Washington Avenue Bridge, Swissvale (PT-344.91); and Amtrak Station Canopy (PT-353.20)] have vertical obstructions along the Pittsburgh Line and prevent efficient movement of freight, especially time-sensitive intermodal freight, by rail between Chicago and New York/New Jersey, and specifically through Pennsylvania. Unused capacity exists on the Pittsburgh Line and these clearance projects will allow the line to accommodate anticipated freight growth while allowing for double-stack intermodal freight to use the Pittsburgh Line in lieu of the Mon Line.

    PORT AUTHORITY OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT V.4.0 7/20/18 STATION DESIGN GUIDELINES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Port Authority of Allegheny County (PAAC) provides public transportation throughout Pittsburgh and Allegheny County. The Authority’s 2,600 employees operate, maintain, and support bus, light rail, incline, and paratransit services for approximately 200,000 daily riders. Port Authority is currently focused on enacting several improvements to make service more efficient and easier to use. Numerous projects are either underway or in the planning stages, including implementation of smart card technology, real-time vehicle tracking, and on-street bus rapid transit. Port Authority is governed by an 11-member Board of Directors – unpaid volunteers who are appointed by the Allegheny County Executive, leaders from both parties in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and Senate, and the Governor of Pennsylvania. The Board holds monthly public meetings. Port Authority’s budget is funded by fare and advertising revenue, along with money from county, state, and federal sources. The Authority’s finances and operations are audited on a regular basis, both internally and by external agencies. Port Authority began serving the community in March 1964. The Authority was created in 1959 when the Pennsylvania Legislature authorized the consolidation of 33 private transit carriers, many of which were failing financially. The consolidation included the Pittsburgh Railways Company, along with 32 independent bus and inclined plane companies. By combining fare structures and centralizing operations, Port Authority established the first unified transit system in Allegheny County. Participants Port Authority of Allegheny County would like to thank agency partners for supporting the Light Rail Transportation Station Guidelines, as well as those who participated by dedicating their time and expertise.
