To provide funding to convert three low-level PRT rail stations into ADA compliant high-level stations

The Federal Transit Administration awarded the Port Authority of Allegheny County Inc., doing business as Pittsburgh Regional Transit, $35.5 million under the All Stations Accessibility Program (CFDA 20.533) on August 26, 2026, to convert three low-level, non-ADA-compliant light rail stations into high-level, ADA-compliant stations on the Red Line service. The capital project will retrofit and modify the three stations to expand accessibility for Pittsburgh Regional Transit light rail riders, particularly those with disabilities and wheelchair users. Performance extends through March 31, 2032, with work taking place in Pennsylvania. The All Stations Accessibility Program finances capital and planning projects to upgrade accessibility of legacy rail fixed guideway systems by increasing the number of existing stations that meet or exceed Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 standards.
