Port Authority of Allegheny County's Board on Friday, June 30, adopted the agency's $420 million operating and $133 million capital budget for Fiscal Year 2018.
The operating budget includes $581,000 to expand service on five bus routes, add trips on the P1 to alleviate overcrowding, and improve on-time performance.
The Authority’s $133 million capital budget is used to maintain the Authority's extensive transit infrastructure system, including more than 52 miles of light rail track, nearly 18 miles of dedicated bus lanes, and more than 800 buses and light rail vehicles. The Authority also maintains the Monongahela Incline, 79 bridges, and five rail tunnels.
Among the FY2018 capital expenses is the purchase of 70 new clean diesel buses, and various improvements to the Authority’s fixed guideways and facilities.
