After years of advocating for better integration with Port Authority vehicles, they have officially decided to outfit the remaining 190 buses with racks by this time next year. Thank you for your phone calls, emails and letters asking both BikePGH and the Port Authority to make this a priority. This is a great example of how our advocacy works and we can’t do it without the support of our members. If you’re not a member, please click on the link at the bottom of this post to become one.

If you have a minute, please click here to send them a brief note of thanks.
