Rail service on the silver line was briefly “paws-ed” this morning when a dog was found napping on the tracks. Officers were able to rescue the runaway pup and return it to its caretakers. Service has returned to normal.

Thank you to County Executive Sara Innamorato and our federal legislators for supporting this grant effort.

If you've ever worked with us, you've probably worked with Chuck. His kindness and generosity were overshadowed only by his love and knowledge of everything Pittsburgh and everything transit. Chuck retired today after 30+ years as a bus and rail operator and, for the last 10+years, as director of special events. If you attended a baseball, football, or hockey game, a concert, a parade, a marathon or any other event in Pittsburgh in the last decade, it was easier for you to get around because of Chuck. His passion and dedication will be greatly missed and wish him the absolute best in his next chapter.
