This general operating support grant provides critical resources to Pittsburghers for Public Transit (PPT) as it implements both local and state-wide base building activities to defend and expand transit in both the Pittsburgh region and state-wide. TransitCenter support of PPT work is deeply rooted in the core elements of our local powerbuilding strategy to build a base of advocates for transit, strengthen local organizing, and broaden the stakeholders for transit, in this case organized labor.
